Monsoon was one of the first teams in the world to work on an early-release version of Windows Vista. Our work for HP and Microsoft, a touch-screen PC interface designed for busy families, showed the diverse strengths of our team: a willingness to jump on new technologies, a balanced combination of programming and design, and the ability to make complex applications seem easy. CNet, reviewing the interface, said it "couldn't be simpler to use."

Our in-depth knowledge of Vista helped us with another Microsoft application, the MSN Live Earth Gadget. The program helped stream MSN's concerts to support global warming research, which garnered a record-setting online audience of about 8 million people. Microsoft trusted Monsoon to help integrate videos of the concert with the Vista interface, highlighting our ability to deliver big projects on spec, on time, and on budget.
