With its official announcement of the "Windows Live platform beta" at Mix '07 this week, Microsoft made available to developers a number of application programming interfaces (APIs) and controls upon which they can build their own applications and mashups.
Missing from the list were a couple of key building block services, specifically calendar and presence interfaces/services. But more information — if not actual code — on those two pieces is coming this summer, said Brian Arbogast, Corporate Vice President Windows Live Developer & Communications Platform.
"Presence is being infused in our (Windows Live) APIs," Arbogast told me during an interview this week at Microsoft's confab for Web developers and designers in Las Vegas. Expect to hear and see more this summer, he added, declining to provide more specifics.
