Microsoft: Change The World Or Go Home

See Innovation At Microsoft Wave.

by SoftwareGuru


"Welcome to Microsoft Wave, the site that brings you the freshest developments and products to come out of Microsoft."

For awhile now here at Software4Students we have covered various Microsoft innovations from Photosynth to Office Live.

So it is a welcome surprise to see a new dedicated area of the Microsoft.com site pull together all of these various new technologies into the same online space under the name Microsoft Wave.

Not only that, but it certainly has the best slogan I've read in a very long time! Gone is the generic marketing of "your potential, our passion" and instead is the clear mission statement:

"Microsoft change the world or go home".

Keeping in mind all of the charity work Bill Gates has undertaken through his foundation since leaving the corporation full-time, it goes right to the heart of what Microsoft should be about.



























My Wave

Adding Microsoft Wave to your bookmarks will remind you to return every now and again to see what new, exciting developments are on the horizon.

Once the hardware becomes affordable on a mass scale, Microsoft Surface is likely to become as common as the remote control.

It provides individuals or small group effortless access to digital content, using multiple touch points, natural hand gestures and real-world objects.
 
Another key aspect of the website which deserves credit is that the inspirational ideas are balanced on the site with the practical.

Password Tool

For example, in one of the highlighted blogs, the latest entry links to Microsoft Password Strength checker tool which I have to admit I didn't even know existed!

Try it out and if the result says 'weak' then you need to think of a better password.

Encouraging learning and the exploration of ideas is what Microsoft Wave is all about.


Synchronizing Life

The idea behind Live Mesh is to connect all of your digital devices together.

Your work computer. Your home laptop. Your Mac. Your mobile phone. Devices live in multiple places.

But the files you need—and the programs that open them—often don’t. Live Mesh changes all that.

With Live Mesh, you can synchronize files with all of your devices, so you always have the latest versions handy.

Access your files from any device or from the web, easily share them with others, and get notified whenever someone changes a file.

There are many more essential tools and innovations waiting to be found over at Microsoft Wave.
