Disbanding Microsoft's Live Labs Group May be Good for Windows Mobile

My first thought after reading this item over on PaidContent.org…

Microsoft Breaks Up Its Live Labs Group

..was this was a shame since I thought some of the ideas coming out of there were interesting/useful to me. Then, I read this further along in the news story…

Moving forward, about half of the Live Labs group will remain but will focus solely on search, while the other half will join product groups within Microsoft, including Windows Mobile and the company’s online services division…

In my opinion, this means that some good may come out of disbanding Live Labs if the Windows Mobile group absorbs some of Labs’ people and projects.
