When Makinde Adeagbo and 21 other undergraduate college students arrived here in June for a five-week computer-science training program on Microsoft's corporate campus, they were excited about the opportunity to get an inside look at life at Microsoft. Among the surprises: how much input everyone has in defining the products they work on; how much pride everyone takes in their job; and, of course, the free beverages Microsoft provides to employees.

AP - College junior Kyle Taylor is downloading hundreds of songs by No Doubt, Bruce Springsteen and others onto the Compaq laptop in his cramped dormitory room. With a few more clicks of his mouse, Taylor is watching commercial-free "Seinfeld" episodes on his computer. In just minutes, he then downloads the entire movie "A League of Their Own." The 20-year-old is not breaking any laws. Nor is he at risk of expensive lawsuits by the entertainment industry over copyright violations.

Microsoft Making Encarta Into Wikicarta?
Not Quite 04/18/2005 06:48 PM
Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia project often seems to be forgotten in all of the various arguments over Wikipedia, but it appears that they're feeling a bit of the Wikipedia-induced heat. They're going to now make it easier for people to suggest changes to Encarta entries, if they feel they're wrong. Of course, those changes will still be reviewed by an editor, so it's not really wiki-like at all -- but that won't stop the press from making the connection. It's just that Encarta is making the "feedback" functionality a little more prominent and hoping that this allows them to catch some of the Wikipedia hype wave.

Microsoft Details More Longhorn Features

Microsoft Details More Longhorn Features 04/15/2005 03:16 PM
As Microsoft approaches a major milestone in the development of Longhorn, company executives are talking more about the features of the Windows XP successor, which they say will be easier to use, more secure, and less costly to manage than earlier versions of Windows. Microsoft unveiled the Longhorn operating system in late 2003 at a conference for developers but then reigned in its ambitions for the operating system last year, aiming to make possible a release in late 2006.

To meet that shipment date, Microsoft clipped some of Longhorn's key features, most notably the unified storage system called WinFS that Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates had called the "Holy Grail." Now, after several months of relative silence on the Longhorn front, Microsoft executives have once again started to talk up the operating system's features.

Microsoft Details Features of 'R2'

Microsoft Details Features of 'R2' 05/28/2004 03:14 AM
?Microsoft used its TechEd conference to lay out some of the features planned for the next version of Windows Server 2003, code-named ?R2.? Scheduled for release sometime next year, R2 is a new version of the server that rolls in some of the feature packs that Microsoft released for Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has acknowledged that finding and loading feature packs, such as the heavily touted Windows SharePoint Services, has been confusing and annoying for customers. At the same time, the interim release of the server eases the pressure on Microsoft, which doesn?t plan to ship its ?Longhorn? generation of Windows server until 2007.?
