Microsoft is tuning its vision for that the Windows Reside Platform that is in the center of its Windows Reside strategy. The Windows Live development platform that Microsoft envisions now is several in various crucial ways in the 1 that corporation officials outlined last yr. At a January seven session at Microsoft's Vista Lab in Las Vegas on the Reside developer platform Scott Swanson, director of platform planning for Windows Live,
Office Professional Plus, outlined Microsoft's current and evolving vision the Live platform. (Other Reside team members showed us for the hundreth time the always-demo-friendly Virtual Earth mapping stuff. Unfortunately, we got no demos of Windows Reside for TV, aka "Nemo"/"Orbit." And, as expected, there were no mentions of LiveDrive.) Microsoft currently is working to create and open up two categories of Reside application programming interfaces (APIs), Swanson said. 1 of these categories is infrastructure APIs, specifically, identity, relationship, storage, communications, payment/points, advertising and domain APIs. The other is application services APIs, including instant-messaging/VOIP, search, Spaces (blogging), mapping, mail/calendar and classifieds APIs. Underlying all of these APIs is adCenter, Microsoft's online-advertising platform. And atop these two groups of APIs,
Windows 7 X64, Microsoft plans to deliver a common application framework for that Web, PCs and devices, Swanson said. Microsoft plans to provide more details and deliverables while in the Windows Live platform space by the time of its Mix '07 conference in late April,
microsoft Office 2010 keygen, Swanson said. "All of these will be released as services over time. But it will take a couple years to get all this stuff out," Swanson acknowledged. Previously, Microsoft described its Windows Reside platform in a slightly different (and vaguer) way. During a couple of unique developer events in 2005,
Office Pro 2007, Microsoft described the Windows Live platform of consisting of three sets of APIs: contacts, identity and storage. Above this layer, Microsoft officials said they were building an optional layer of "common services," including Reside Search, adCenter, presence, mapping and mobile interfaces. And atop this layer, in Microsoft's 2005 platform view, was a set of Reside applications and experiences, like Live Mail, Reside Messenger, Spaces, Reside Marketplaces, Reside video and Xbox Reside gaming. In Microsoft's new view of the Live Platform world, adCenter isn't optional; it's a mandatory, core element of the platform upon which Microsoft expects developers to build. And until now, the idea of a common developer framework of some kind has been implied,
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, but not promised.
