Microsoft Garage (or The Garage) is one design mark Microsoft that encourages the expression of ideas and inventiveness the employees of the company. In The Garage, they gather after the program hours to launch new projects that are not directly related to Microsoft's official products, but they find their applicability in them. Most of The Garage projects are either integrated into Microsoft projects Official, either they are used only within the company (they are not made public to consumers), but some of them reach Distributed free online (most often at the inventor's request).
