MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Microsoft has moved 10 of its social-computing experts from Microsoft Research onto its Windows user interface team. Will the 'Aero' interface be more interactive, as a result?
Social-networking technologies, including blogs, Wikis, and RSS, are likely to play a key part in the Longhorn "Aero" interface, based on a recent reorganization made by the Redmond software developer.
In late April, Microsoft quietly reassigned Lili Cheng, group manager of Microsoft Research's social-computing group, to the Windows Shell interface team.
