Will Mesh take the Web from open source?: The launch of Microsoft's Live Mesh has a lot of people asking what this means for key competitors like Google or Adobe. But what does it mean for open source? After all: Use of Live Mesh is tied to a Windows ID.

Meshing the desktop into the cloud: I'm often harsh on Microsoft, but I'm going to lighten up now that it's introduced Live Mesh (great coverage at Liveside, a useful ten points from Mary Jo, more at Techmeme). One of the misconceptions people often have about the Web is that exists 'out there', as...; Tags: Web, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft Corp., Mesh, Zintel, Mesh Account Service, Channel Management, Desktops, Marketing, Hardware, Phil Wainewright; Blog posts 2008-04-23
Ozzie signals Microsoft's surrender to the cloud: Publicly, Microsoft talks up the merits of its 'software-plus-services' strategy. In my view the message is bunkum, even though it reflects the reality of Microsoft's business today: mostly software, with a few early-stage service offerings. But Microsoft has its message back-to-front. Until Microsoft reverses the software-plus-services mantra and puts services...; Tags: Software, Desktop, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft Corp., Synchronization, Tools & Techniques, Leadership, Servers, Management, Hardware, Phil Wainewright; Blog posts 2008-03-17

Untangling the Microsoft mesh: "Mesh" was Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie's word of the day last week at Microsoft's Mix '08 conference. Ozzie waxed prolific on "social mesh," "device mesh," "seamless mesh" and more. But what are the technological underpinnings that will allow users and developers to bring everything together...; Tags: WinFS, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft Corp., Sync Famework, Microsoft Horizon, Microsoft Windows, RSS, Operating Systems, Software, Internet, Mary Jo Foley; Blog posts 2008-03-10

Microsoft's Ozzie is on the Mix '08 agenda, after all: Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie will be speaking at the Microsoft Mix '08 conference, after all. When Microsoft first announced its Mix keynote line-up last year, Ozzie surprisingly was nowhere to be found on the speaker list.

ray ozzie's Simple Sharing Extensions get a new lease on life: In late 2005, Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie was championing a new technology called RSS Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE). Since then, there have been almost no public updates from Ozzie or anyone else at Microsoft on what was happening with SSE. Until this week, that is....; Tags: Ray Ozzie, Specification, Microsoft Corp., RSS, Microsoft Windows, Internet, Operating Systems, Software, Mary Jo Foley; Blog posts 2007-12-05
ray ozzie MIA from Microsoft's Mix '08 line-up: Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's Chief Software Architect, has become increasingly notorious for his invisibility on the Web 2.0 conference circuit. If the Microsoft Mix '08 Web site is any indication, Ozzie sightings are going to become even scarcer in the new year.

Ozzie tries to justify Microsoft's consumer detours: Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie states the obvious when he notes that consumer technology is leading the industry these days. Shame he's just trying to justify the red ink spent on Microsoft's various consumer forays. It's hard to argue with Ozzie's premise. These days technology hits the consumer first...; Tags: Enterprise 2.0, Software Infrastructure, Microsoft, General; Blog posts 2007-07-31
Ozzie: Innovation coming from consumer, not corporate, market: Until fairly recently, many Microsoft watchers -- including Softies themselves -- would likely say that the Redmond software maker was far more focused on business users than consumers.

They saw the Silverlight, and saw that it was good: Robert Scoble is trying to build a reinvention myth around Microsofts introduction of Silverlight, its new smart client platform.
