Bing Adds Wolfram | Alpha Capabilities

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Bing has unveiled some work they have been doing with Wolfram|Alpha. Started in May 2009 by noted scientist Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious (and very cool) project to, as the company's website says, "make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone." This notion of creating and presenting computational knowledge in search results is one of the more exciting things going on in search (and beyond) today, and the team at Bing is incredibly fired up to bring some of this amazing work to our customers. You will begin to see the benefits of this unique partnership over the next several days as we roll it out in the US. Here are a couple screen shots of how these new capabilities can be used. Here Bing is relying on Wolfram|Alpha's ability to solve complex math functions (and some easy ones too) and to provide you with knowledge about unique math concepts.

Windows 7 + Surface + Interknowlogy == Healthcare Innovation

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:30:00 GMT

One of the most important and fastest growing forms of electronic medical records (EMR) today is image data created from a growing variety of radiology devices. X-Rays, CT Scans, MRI, PET Scans, Ultrasound and others are producing an explosion of digital imagery in 2D, 3D and yes, recently even 4D. For example, if you have never heard of fMRI think of 3D time lapse photography for the brain; one that can show the flow of blood in the brain over time. Such images can be incredibly powerful medical tools--not only for diagnosis, but non-invasive screening, groundbreaking discovery, research, and especially collaboration. Of course, the sheer size and complexity of such data create challenges up and down the technology stack including storage, searching, network transport, processing, and presentation. All of these challenges are relevant for collaboration over these images. But has this explosion in image data set off an explosion of information?Recently, however, Interknowlogy has demonstrated what can happen if we address these challenges. Using both Microsoft Surface and Windows 7 multi-touch, this team has shown that completely interactive remote collaboration in real time with medical imagery is possible now. To see for yourself what is possible in this space you should check out this demo by Interknowlogy.

Windows Azure Platform TCO.RIO Comparison Tool

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:15:00 GMT

The folks from Alinan have developed a very comprehensive and detailed TCO/ROI comparison tool for the Microsoft Windows Azure Platform. You can access the tool at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/tco/. This tool does an excellent job of calculating the TCO/ROI of hosting an existing application on the Windows Azure Platform as compared to running the application on-premise. In doing this it considers not only the cost of operation but the entire application life-cycle. This includes planning, acquisition, setup and installation, management and support, evolution and retirement of the application. In the case of an existing on-premise application it also considers the cost of migrating the application.
