Microsoft Bit
Quick bit on Microsoft and its latest news
Windows Live - looks a lot like google personal homepage, first of all no this isn't an operating system, its a customized portal page. They use a similar AJAX interface that google does, so what's the big advantage now ? We'll I guess we'll have to wait and see. Check it out here
Visual Studio 2005 - Release date coming up (Nov. 7) Yay one of Microsofts most robust/usefull products finally gets an update. The betas we're pretty good and showed off a lot of the new features of the new framework. Check out the press release for more info.
XBOX 360 - no HD-DVD? Gizmodo has a posting how the yet to be release XBOX 360 probably won't support HD-DVD for games, um okay I'll bit but one has to ask why would a company that has publicly supported HD-DVD, not try to push it with their products.
Web based Microsoft Office Beta - signup here http://www.microsoft.com/office/officelive/default.mspx, it has the potential to be really cool. Yes, they've had the ability to do this for a while, especially with outlook for anyone whose used Exchange should know. This is the one web service Google doesn't currently offer, but then again technically Microsoft hasn't launched this yet.
