今早有消息称：微软，和 Google, Facebook, 和 Plaxo，将一起加入 DataPortability.Org 工作组，由 Windows Live 平台公司副总裁 David Treadwell 负责。DataPortability.Org 开始寻找各类不同的网络应用之间数据共享的解决方案。以下是他们的“哲学和使命”：
Philosophy As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen (and trusted) tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. The technologies already exist, we simply need a complete reference design to put the pieces together.
Mission To put all existing technologies and initiatives in context to create a reference design for end-to-end Data Portability. To promote that design to the developer, vendor and end-user community.
这令那些认为微软一直以来都是反对开放的人非常意外，事实上，微软，尤其是 Windows Live 一直都在努力构建一个开放的平台，比如提供大量的 API 来访问 Windows Live 的数据，将来会有更多 API 将推出。我们也会在今后更加关注这方面的新闻。
