Windows Live Clipboard was supposed to be part of Microsoft's Windows Live range of services. It was going to be a technique for allowing a user to cut and paste rich data between webpages and browsers using an XML format. Microformats for data like calendar entries, contact information, etc. would be seamlessly translated to common clipboard data formats making re-use easy. Unfortunately Microsoft seemed to discontinue the idea so while the following links are valid, they are stale and the technology does not seem to work with new browsers (IE 7 or Firefox 2).
