Microsoft’s arguably most creative division at the moment, Microsoft Garage is back with another invention, and this time, it’s to improve your facial hair, or actually, the only part of it that matters: the moustache. Welcome to MyMoustache.net, a new internet phenomenon in the making.
Part of Microsoft’s collaboration with the Movember Foundation in order to raise awareness of men’s health and showcase the power of machine-learning, the site uses complex functions to determine the length, form and awesomeness of your moustache and calculate your ranking in..yadayada, you know what?

The app itself is certainly a good way to show off Microsoft’s software and cloud capabilities, while solidifying Redmond’s image as a fresh, innovative company finding back its charm.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
