Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010 Microsoft'

Current concerns about the future of the Microsoft Zune music/video services have remained mostly unanswered. But my contacts have shared a new, related piece of the puzzle. And that piece is codenamed “Ventura.”Ventura, from what my tipsters tell me,Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010, is the name of a set of services being developed by Microsoft;s Entertainment and Devices (E&D) unit. These services are focused on songs and video clip discovery and consumption. They sound,Office Pro 2007 Key, from my sources, as though they include recommendations, ratings and comments.Here;s a latest Microsoft job description I found mentioning a Ventura Media Services team:The Ventura Media Services team is looking for a highly motivated Software Development Engineer to help drive some great new services innovation.Who are we? We are Ventura Media Services - an agile team working on the beginning of some very large scale projects. We incubate, innovate and iterate. We are all about building services the right way. The team is a tight group of audio and video lovers that create services and experiences revolving around music\video discovery and consumption. We are not afraid to try new things in the name of pushing the bleeding edge of technology.As a member of the team, you will work closely with all of our partners to release features on a rapidly iterative development cycle. You will get the chance to work with other IEB product teams to help deliver epic end-to-end scenarios across all 3 screens.In this position you will have the chance to help choose direction and drive innovation on some with the most cutting edge media services. Think large scale. Think Azure. Being a web and services group, our goal is to release early and often while maintaining high quality. If you are a proven developer that likes to drive innovation,Office 2010 Professional, then this is the place for you!From what I;ve heard, I believe the Ventura services are being built by the IEB Services team headed by David Treadwell. I blogged about this team recently, noting it was adding a number of Microsoft services veterans including Distinguished Engineer Don Box. (Box, by the way, also happens to be a musician. Anyone remember his “Miguel My Belle” ode to Miguel de Icaza at the 2003 Professional Developers Conference? It was a classic.)Does Ventura end up replacing the Zune music/video service? Does it end up complementing it in some way? Will Ventura end up built into future Xbox consoles,Office Pro 2007, Windows Phones, and Windows PCs? I;ve still got a lot more concerns than answers. In fact,Office 2010 Professional Key, the only answer I did get from Microsoft in regards to the long term of its Zune company is that the company is “committed to providing a great audio and video clip experience” — which may or may not be Zune — across its various platforms.
