MS-Watch | at | by Mike

Microsoft is beginning to articulate a concrete plan for turning Windows Live into a developer platform. Here at Microsoft's Mix 06 conference on March 20, Microsoft officials explained in a session on Windows Live how the company is thinking about making Windows Live appeal to third-party developers, not just to Microsoft's own product teams.

Microsoft has been mulling how best to articulate its Windows Live developer story for several months, as noted on the LiveSide.Net Web site. To help simplify its message, Microsoft has consolidated its content and tools for Windows Live developers on a single Microsoft Developer Network site.
