Microsoft has had more than 100,000 downloads of its Software Factories software development technology since it debuted six months ago, S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of the Microsoft Developer Division, said in his blog.

A Software Factory is a package of tools, processes, and guidance that extends the Visual Studio developer platform to optimize it for a specific type of application, such as an occasionally connected client or a Windows Communication Foundation service, Somasegar said.
