Okay, this is it for Microsoft Live I swear. I’ll blog about Adobe’s Open Screen Project next so that I don’t look like such a Microsoft fan boy.
Anyhow, I can across this service called Application Based Storage in the dev.live.com site. I hadn’t heard any news about this yet.
The big idea here is that it’s help to keep track of user information by storing and retrieving user data via an ATOM protocol.. The focus of the service is for when an application has hundreds of thousands of users and offloads client bandwidth and storage to the Windows Live infrastructure. Application developers can store a small amount of state/configuration data in the data centers on behalf of a user.
I’m wondering if it could also be used to store session state information across multiple domain.
I’m hoping that Microsoft Live will start to get all these little services to be more interoperable in a Google App Engine style.
There seems to be so many efforts and technologies coming out from Microsoft, but not a constant story of how to use them together.
