Microsoft missed the opportunity to purchase DoubleClick, which I had written about before. Lo and behold, look who bought them instead, good ol’ Google! “Bought” might be using the word a little lightly too, more like Google came in, opened up the war chest coffers and slammed the money bags down on the board room table […]
A little bit of rumbling in the acquisitions department at Microsoft today. Or at least we can expect there to be with recent news stories about Microsoft putting its eyes on online advertising company DoubleClick. Could this be what Microsoft needs to help it put up a better fight against Google’s AdSense and Yahoo’s online advertising revenue streams?

I’ve been using IE7 now almost exclusively since downloading the final version this week. I’ve already posted that there are some things I like about it compared to Firefox.
Another feature I like is the full-page view of all open tabs.
I’m sure there was a Firefox extension that let me do that as well. That brings […]
I decided to try the IE7 beta again to see what’s improved. I really like it! I think they’ve done a better job of organizing and streamlining the default interface, although they have made it hard to really adjust it to even a more minimalist state like I prefer. I really try to shrink and […]
Microsoft now has a stand alone blogging application available for download. Windows Live Writer is now available and performs the same tasks as other 3rd party blogging application like Qumana, Blogdesk, etc. Contrary to what you may think, you don’t have to use it with Windows Live Spaces, but it obviously works there.

Niall Kennedy is the latest mainstream blogger to be leaving Microsoft, of course following Robert Scoble.
Niall was working on some of the various feed features being worked on in coordination with the Windows Live developments. He’s only been there 5 months, April to August.

I’m reposting a comment from Cameron McCall on behalf of Chris Mayo regarding a hotfix that is now available for Visual Studio 2005. We’ve been having some problems with Akismet identifying Cameron and Chris’ comments as spam. I’m looking into making sure that doesn’t happen anymore, but for now, here you go!
I’m sending this on […]
