Previously, F# was obtainable under a Microsoft Shared Source license. Microsoft moved IronRuby and IronPython under the Apache 2.0 license just before the business offloaded those development efforts to the community. It doesn;t sound as if that;s the corporation;s intention with F#, however, as Microsoft recently integrated F# support directly into Visual Studio 2010.Microsoft is moving the Seadragon Ajax project to the Expression team: Seadragon Ajax is the JavaScript implementation of the Microsoft Live Labs Seadragon project. SeaDragon is a library for DeepZoom viewing. Microsoft is in the process of disbanding Live Labs, and is sending most with the remaining Live Labs projects and employees to work about the Bing team. It looks like Seadragon Ajax will have a totally different home.Microsoft may have another Azure prize-cut plan up its sleeve: Around the heels of introducing the new “Extra Tiny Instance” pricing for entry-level Windows Azure developers, Microsoft may be readying a different low-end pricing option, as cloud blogger Roger Jennings noted this week. Microsoft is surveying Azure end users regarding their interest in a pay-per-use/consumption pricing model – something that would give Microsoft more leverage against Google with its Google App Engine platform-as-a-service offering. Additional Modest instance offer doesn’t start until January 7, 2011 and requires participants to be Microsoft partners, Jennings said. But so far, there;s no start date, or even guarantee, that Microsoft will end up fielding pay-per-use Azure pricing.
