Windows 7 Enterprise Microsoft delivers test build
 

Microsoft produced on the market for download a 1st Local community Technologies Preview (CTP) test construct of a toolkit for building applications and Internet internet sites incorporating Windows Reside services making use of Visual Studio.The new toolkit, dubbed “Windows Live Tools for Visual Studio,Windows 7 Enterprise,” include a number of controls developers can use to build programs that integrate Windows Reside facilities. Included in the initial CTP are a contacts control, and ID Login Control,microsoft Office 2010 keygen, an ID Loginview Control and Silverlight Steaming Media Control. The toolkit will support Visual Studio 2008,Purchase Office 2007, initially.When Microsoft 1st shared its plans for the Windows Reside toolkit in September, officials said to expect the new add-ons to work a lot like the Facebook Developer Toolkit that Microsoft announced in May 2007, given that the new Visual Studio Toolkit for Windows Live was being developed by Microsoft’s Doug Handler,Windows 7 64 Bit, who did a lot of the work around the Facebook toolkit.Microsoft also unveiled this week a couple of other new deliverables of potential interest to developers interested in Windows Reside software and services. Microsoft made accessible a beta version of the Windows Live Messenger application-programming interface (API), as well as the Spaces Photo API that deals with publishing photos inside Windows Live Spaces, Microsoft;s social-networking/blogging platform.Microsoft created these Windows-Live developer-focused announcements at the TechEd Developers conference in Barcelona this week. The downloads are obtainable from the Microsoft Connect download site.In a slide deck outlining the announcements, Angus Logan, a Technical Product Manager for the Windows Live Platform,Office Pro Plus, summarized Microsoft;s intentions by saying the “Windows Reside platform is opened up. We are providing the tools you use.”It;s surprising to me how little Microsoft is doing to publicize the Windows Live APIs and tools that it is making readily available to developers. Instead, the Redmondians are letting Google steal all the thunder — while simultaneously hoping to siphon a little of Google;s momentum by choosing a “Fire” based name for the upcoming Microsoft Silverlight developers; workshop…Microsoft Silverlight Fire Starter vs. Google;s OpenSocial Campfire.
