Sidebar gadget brings WebSlices to the desktop
2008-03-31 21:35:00
WebSlices, meet desktop. Desktop , meet the web. Sean Lyndersay, ironically a former Microsoft IE developer (now Live Search), has developed a rather ingenuous solution to display WebSlices on the desktop using a very simple Sidebar gadget he calls the ?WebSlice Viewer Gadget ?. It?s still in alpha so it?s all Microsoft?s fault if it breaks. In a nutshell, because WebSlices are actually stored as feeds inside the native Windows RSS platform, desktop applications including Sidebar gadgets can very simply fetch and display the data without much hassle. In this case, it couldn?t be any simpler to pick the WebSlice you want to display in the gadget, and have it appear in a simple frame on the desktop. I think many people underestimated the potential of WebSlices by implying it was redundant in IE8 because you could just as easily load the full page which is true inside a browser, I think this gadget outside of the browser is a much better example of demonstrating where ?subscribing? to a...

Fiji Media Center Beta Inches Closer
2008-03-31 15:10:00
We have been waiting for Microsoft to open the beta for Fiji , the suspected codename for the next version of Media Center for well over a year now.  I first posted about it in March of last year, with invites first opening just a month after that, and now it appears we may finally have taken a step forward. Users (who shall remain nameless, because I edited them out) at The Green Button are reporting that they have received e-mails from Microsoft Connect.  If true, this would be the first step to finally getting something in our hands to play with (under NDA of course). This release will bring DIRECTV support among other unannounced features.  I had expected it to include HD DVD support, but I wouldn?t count on that any more.  Other features have been kept under tight wraps, though I?ve got a few in mind that I?m rather sure will be there.

Windows Live FolderShare Beta refreshed fixes a bunch of problems

Ultimate Extras: What happened to GroupShot?
2008-03-28 14:24:00
It's no secret that those futuristic demos at the Consumer Electronics Show each year don't always turn into real, live products. But when Microsoft showed a working version of the "GroupShot" photo-editing tool at CES last year, there seemed little doubt that it would be released as promised as part of the Windows Vista Ultimate Extras program. That's not how it turned out. More than a year later, GroupShot hasn't yet been released as an Ultimate Extra. As explained in this story in today's newspaper, that's one of the ways that the Ultimate Extras initiative has fallen short of original expectations. But what happened to GroupShot, in particular? I asked Microsoft's Barry Goffe that question when I spoke with him for the story. "The thing that we showed at CES was real, live code ... but it wasn't really up to snuff, it wasn't something that I would have felt good about shipping to millions of customers," Goffe said. The company had to make "some ...

Get Paid For Streaming With Silverlight?
2008-03-27 19:12:00
Remy has just blogged on the Silverlight Streaming blog on dev.live that you will soon be able to put advertising into your Silverlight Streaming app. The pilot scheme is due to start soon this Spring. So how will this work? The ads will be provided by the Microsoft AdCenter platform and deliver contextual ads based on the keywords associated to the Silverlight video and these ads will appear actually in the playback. To register your interest for this, head on over to http://advertising.microsoft.com/publishe r/sls and provide the requested information. Unfortunately, it is important to note that this is, as usual, only open to US participants, but as Remy is keen to highlight: This is a real program, with revenues paid in US dollars, and it will include revenue sharing for the accounts participating in the trial. So, if you are in the states and using SLS, good way to bring in some cash for doing nothing! Source: LiveSide Taimur Asad (The Microsoft "Wow" Blog!)

Today at Sheraton Hotel Karachi , Microsoft launched their three flagship products(Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 & SQL Server 2008) as part of their 2008 launch wave. I was fortunate enough to witness the biggest launch of Microsoft and am proud to be a part of history. One of the things I like about such events is the goodies you get for just attending the event so this one was no exceptional: I got free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate and Evaluation copies of all the three newly launched products i.e. Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 & SQL Server 2008.   Here is a short video showing all the items contained in the launch kit (requires Microsoft Silverlight)   Additionally, pictures can also be seen here(Windows Live Spaces) or here(Flickr).

Announcing Windows Live FolderShare Beta Refresh for PC-to-PC Sync

I use about 2-3 different PCs throughout the week for work - including my laptop when I travel away from the office. In doing this - I have files scattered on multiple PCs. I'll go to one PC and find I need a file from another PC. So to make sure all my PCs are in-sync with all the important files I need and use - I use Windows Live FolderShare.

More on Microsoft's database-in-the-cloud service (SQL Server Data Services
2008-03-11 17:33:00
LAS VEGAS--While Internet Explorer 8 demos, Silverlight progress and a Monkey Boy reprise from Steve Ballmer captured much of the attention at Mix 08--it was a database announcement that could be the sleeper announcement of the show. What Microsoft announced was a database-in-the-cloud service where Web developers can store their data. Those attending the Mix show here were able to sign up for a beta test that is set to begin in three or four weeks, with a final version aimed to be launched by the end of the year, according to Dave Campbell, a technical fellow in Microsoft's SQL Server division. "We're taking SQL Server we're pulling pieces of it apart and we're putting it back together," Campbell said in an interview. One of the challenges is taking software designed to run highly reliable servers and storage and turning it into a commodity service. But, Campbell said, that's also where the opportunity lies. "In this world, dumb and fast rules." "I...

Microsoft to launch new MSN Toolbar beta - Powered by Silverlight
2008-03-02 22:17:00
Later today we should see the reincarnation of MSN Toolbar in beta form (codename Salsa). Like many older MSN products, it migrated over to the new Windows Live brand early 2007, however as part of the gradual drift back, its been revamped with a new look. So what's new apart from the Vista styled UI? Well perhaps the biggest thing is that the toolbar is powered by Silverlight , which adds an extra dimension to the features on offer. This enables the drop-down MSN chanel previews, showing the latest content from within the MSN portal without requiring the user to move from the internet page they are currently browsing. From the same preview pane users can also chose to search that part of the site, which brings us onto the 2nd main feature - Live Search. Although web search and toolbars have gone hand in hand for as long as I can remember, the new MSN Toolbar beta adds a few twists. Firstly, and definitely most controversially, when you perform a search query on another search eng...

Microsoft Reduces Price on Several Retail Stand-Alone Versions of Windows V
2008-02-29 19:36:00
Since its release, Windows Vista  has seen solid sales through the first year of availability, primarily through the sale of new PCs. Stand -alone retail sales, while not representing a large percentage of the business, represents an area of opportunity for additional growth the company sees based on the new editions introduced in 2007. To help reach that goal, Microsoft today announced price reductions on several consumer stand-alone editions. PressPass spoke with Brad Brooks, corporate vice president for Windows Consumer Product Marketing at Microsoft, to discuss how these price reductions will take effect and what prompted Microsoft to make this decision.
