Microsoft may not have a reputation as the most sexy company in the industry, but one thing's for sure: Microsoft and its channel partners sure do know how to have fun. ChannelWeb looks at some of the scenes that lightened up the atmosphere at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston.
WorldWide Telescope is Microsoft's answer to Google Sky, the online virtual telescope the search giant unveiled last year.
Powered by a mix of software and Web 2.0 services created with Microsoft's Visual Experience Engine, WorldWide Telescope uses a massive database containing several terabytes of high resolution images of stars, galaxies, and other heavenly bodies. The images come from a variety of space- and Earth-based sources, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Microsoft is offering the WorldWide Telescope free of charge to the educational and astronomical communities as a tribute to Jim Gray, the esteemed Microsoft researcher and database guru who disappeared in January 2007 while sailing off the coast of San Francisco. Gray helped develop SkyServer, the front end for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, an ongoing project aimed at making a 3-D map of the universe.
Microsoft in February gave a sneak preview of WorldWide Telescope to attendees at the TED 2008 conference in Monterey, Calif.
