昨日我们报道过，微软研究院Microsoft Research推出了一款类似Snapchat的阅后即焚消息应用：WindUp。不过微软今日在一篇官博上表示，WindUp仅供研究测试目的，并非意与其他服务（显然指的是Snapchat）竞争，且并非商用目的。总之该应用是一款实验性产品，仍有很大改进的空间，并不会作为微软的核心产品。
博文原文意为：
WindUp是一款以研究测试目的开发的移动应用，用户能够以有限的阅读次数或特定的时间内分享图片，视频，文字与音频语音。之后分享的内容会被永久删除。
这款应用的开发，仅仅是为了Research团队研究探索用户内容创建与交换的模式，并不是为了与其他类似服务竞争，或作为商用目的。在微软研究院，我们会创造各种原型产品来帮助我们探索研究课题。我们希望人们能够测试该应用并与我们分享对WindUp的看法，我们期待收到大家的反馈并不断改进。
WindUp is a mobile application for research purposes only that enables users to share images, videos, text, and audio snippets for a finite period of time, or for a designated number of views, before the content in question is deleted permanently.
The application is designed to enable me and my team to explore patterns of content creation and exchange. It isn’t meant to compete with anyone else’s service, and it isn’t meant for commercial purposes.
At Microsoft Research, part of our work from time to time involves building prototypes that let us explore some basic research questions. We hope that people give WindUp a test and share their experiences with us, and we look forward to the feedback and the insights we’ll gain.
