Microsoft adding to its Labs collection

As noted by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft is launching yet another "Labs" effort.

This one is called Startup Labs, and according to a job posting Friday, it's part of Ray Ozzie's group. The posting didn't reveal much else, saying that the effort "will consist of multiple product development projects at varying stages of lifecycle."

Startup Labs joins other, seemingly similar projects, housed within specific business units, including Live Labs, adCenter Labs and Office Labs.

I've asked Microsoft for more info and will update if I learn more.

I can't keep up with the heaps of stuff Microsoft is doing. You would have to take it up as a full time job to keep pace.

Lol ina! You need to blog about the Windows Live Movie Maker and Live Messenger 9 post on LiveSide.Net

I am two steps ahead of you on the Microsoft news. ;)

Your 2 steps ahead because you are a Microsoft employee.

Looks like Microsoft is back to paying shills to post positive comments about them, must be part of the lets get back our image campaign. They have been caught out in the past for this type of deceptive behavior and they also use to pay a 3rd party agent to edit their Wikipedia article to be more favorable. Normally a very positive comment is written by a Microsoft employee or shill.

And where is this proof? Or did you read it on wiki?
