    Microsoft has started its own venture capital division. The new group is called Microsoft Ventures, and it will focus on early-stage startup investments. Confusingly, Microsoft Ventures was already the name of a startup accelerator initiative at Microsoft, and that group is being rebranded as "Microsoft Accelerator" -- one of the problems with having a massive, 41-year-old company is running out of names, apparently.
