Microsoft planning to buy Onfolio - The Boston Globe

Microsoft planning to buy Onfolio - The Boston Globe "As part of the deal, Onfolio's browser-based software will become part of a new Windows Live Toolbar being offered as a free download, starting today, from the Microsoft website known as ideas.live.com. And Onfolio's founder, JJ Allaire, and his entire six-person team will pull up stakes in Cambridge and move to Microsoft offices in Redmond, Wash.
''This deal is an opportunity for us to get our work used by a lot of people and integrated with a very exciting strategy," Allaire said. ''I think the best place for us to be is side by side with all of the people we're working with" on the Windows Live team in Redmond."

Congrats to JJ and his team, and also to Paul DiCristina, lead user interface designer.
