What’s been happening?

Over the last couple of months we’ve received a tremendous amount of feedback (most of it positive!) during our Technical Preview. We even strapped on some kilts (we’re based in Edinburgh, Scotland) and took ourselves out to Microsoft’s PDC conference at the tail end of October and I think it’s fair to say we made a bit of a splash!

It was great to see how colaab could capture the imagination and we were excited to learn about some of the new technologies and platforms coming out of Microsoft in the next few months and years such as Windows Azure, Live Services and further updates to Silverlight such as the Control Toolkit.

AutoComplete

As you can see from this screenshot, we are already using the Control Toolkit’s AutoCompleteBox in colaab to help you filter down your available workspaces and find the one you’re looking for.

Since PDC we’ve been hard at work fixing bugs, rounding off features and building out our public sign up process. We took the decision that we should continue our commitment to working with Silverlight 2 in this area and encourage any user who does not have the plug-in installed to install it as quickly during their interaction with the site as possible.

PricingAndSignup

We’ve also firmed up our pricing levels and associated limits and functionality, as well as introducing a completely free account for those that just want to try colaab.

All paid accounts come with a 30 day FREE trial – no strings attached. So why not sign up now.
