Microsoft closes Pioneer Studios, another idea of J Allard

Microsoft puts another stone ends an era of heroism J Allard at the Redmond, relationship ended about a year but stressed in some way symbolic of the end of Pioneer Studios, the brainchild of just Allard. This was a study of "incubator" for new ideas, designed to make various designers experiment with new creative freedom with a certain focus on the electronics consumer, however, in a very particular architecture, designed by SKB Architects in Seattle.

After the sinking of Zune and the cancellation of the tablet Courier, the closure of Pioneer Studios led to a sharp stop of the strategy designed by J Allard Alchemy Ventures with time and continued until recently. The staff of the studio was relocated inside Microsoft (like Jonathan Harris, one of the leaders), while others have left the company (as the co-founder Georg Petschnigg).
