Testers play in Microsoft's sandbox
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft's Business Solutions unit and its partners are testing new Web-service add-ons to Microsoft's enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management applications by making code available under various Microsoft Shared Source licenses.
Microsoft quietly has been posting these add-ons to work spaces on its GotDotNet source-code hosting site since fall. Like the MSN business unit, MBS is testing potential new products and code samples by sharing them via "Sandbox" test sites, company officials said.
