Microsoft is working on an “Experimentation Platform” for innovation on the Windows Live platform. “The Experimentation Platform will enable product groups at Microsoft and developers using Windows Live to innovate using controlled experiments with live users,” according to a Web page dedicated to the effort. “Such a platform will enable testing new ideas quickly using the best-known scientific method for establishing causality between a feature and its effects: randomized experimental design.”The site, however, is a recruiting site rather than the project itself, according to Microsoft. “We are always looking to rapidly innovate on our services and platform, and encouraging experimentation is important here,” a company representative said in an email. The representative said to “stay tuned” for more information. Software Development
