Microsoft has said that getting third-party developers to build their own applications on top of its Web services will help push Redmond's Windows Live initiative over the top. So far, however, it's been unclear how the company intends to make this happen. Microsoft's MIX07 developers and designers conference is set for the end of April in Las Vegas, and promises to be the venue where the company reveals more of its plans to make Windows Live into a bona fide platform for third-party developers. Microsoft plans to open up its program and get third party developers to use its platform to offer more programs for the consumer. This might be a tactic to reduce workload in Microsoft itself and make Windows Live more competitive in the market. In a market where operating systems are Microsoft dominated, third party developer will greatly welcome this move by Microsoft.
