What is Microsoft Live Clipboard ?

Microsoft Live Clipboard will give users much more control as they copy data from Web sites, or paste data into Web forms, or from the Web into their applications.

This "cut and paste" technology works by copying data, structured using XML, from the Web to the clipboard, and then from the clipboard to the target, which can be another Web page or a desktop application.

Live Clipboard is based on JavaScript and standard data formats widely used by Web developers. Microsoft also plans to freely license the software under the Creative Commons license.

Ozzie demonstrated several uses for proposed universal Web Clipboard. He copied addresses and appointments from Web pages, and automatically added them to Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft Live calendar service on the Web.

Ozzie then navigated to Flickr and quickly copied a whole group of photos from the Web site to a folder on his local hard disk.
