Machine Learning | Microsoft Azure:
"The limit of human understanding is a numbers game. A doctor can only consume so much information on a chart, a business analyst only so many rows, an Operations team only so much sensor and equipment data. With machine learning, computers can approach human performance in perception and understanding across vast amounts of data. Expensive and disconnected tools stood in the way of this innovation, but today Microsoft is democratizing machine learning."
To be announced very soon... an Azure service,
likely similar to Google Prediction API

Prepare for layoffs – we translate Microsoft CEO's coma-inducing memo • The Register
With 25000 people from Nokia, not surprising that some streamlining is needed.
Machine Learning is mentioned, but Internet of Things is not. Would be too early.
The core is "Productivity", that would be Office and the like, and "platforms", like Windows, Azure, and devices.

Skulpt: Python in web browser
Skulpt:
Skulpt is an entirely in-browser implementation of Python.
No preprocessing, plugins, or server-side support required, just write Python and reload.
Skulpt is an entirely in-browser implementation of Python.
No preprocessing, plugins, or server-side support required, just write Python and reload.
Interestingly, it does not seem to be Python VM (C-based) cross-compiled to JavaScript. It appears to be Python compiler and byte-code interpreter written in JavaScript directly.
The compiler part of skulpt reads python code and generates a Javascript program. If you want to change the syntax of Python these are the files to look at. The syntax used in skulpt is taken right from the Python 2.6.5 distribution.
When you run the program in the browser the javascript part is 'evaled' by javascript.
