Microsoft on Friday opened a new initiative to let the developer community hear about and try early developer tools that the software company is working on.

DevLabs is an online portal where Microsoft plans to share some "early thinking" and let developers help shape the direction of projects, wrote S. Somasegar, senior vice president in Microsoft's developer division, in a blog entry. Developers will also get to use some early versions of tools in order to offer feedback.
