Journey

The Garage was created in 2009 by a small group of employees to work together on side projects. By 2011, what started as a mini-rebellion had grown into over 3,000 employees around the world, all hacking, building, and tinkering. Truong Do, Microsoft Dynamics AX developer and creator of Mouse without Borders, was part of the early movement, and Mouse without Borders is his side project.

Originally released in September 2011 to accolades from top press outlets, Mouse without Borders has achieved millions of downloads and continues to be hugely popular in the developer community at large. Mouse without Borders is one of the first Garage projects to be released to the public, and almost seven years later is still a top search term for the Garage.

Truong continues to work as a Microsoft employee and remains dedicated to keeping Mouse without Borders ready to go on the latest Windows operating systems.

From its humble roots as side project in the early days of the Garage, Mouse without Borders has stood the test of time and proven that a small project can have big impact.
