Microsoft recently released a whole new suite of Live services and programs for Windows XP and Windows Vista. A new MSN Messenger Live, Photo Gallery Live, Windows Mail Live, and Windows Live Writer Suite. If you use Vista, the new Photo Gallery Live won’t look much different from the existing Windows Vista Photo Gallery, but it has a upload to Flickr option that makes it easy to upload your pictures right from the gallery.
As I write this post, I’m using the new blogging program from Microsoft called Windows Live Writer. When I first ran it, it asked me if I want to setup a new Blog using Microsoft’s Live Spaces service or if I all ready had a existing blog somewhere else. I host WordPress on my own web site and not on WordPress so I thought it would be slightly more complicated to setup.
It asked me some information like my Blog URL and my username and password. Right away it detected what type of blog and started up this neat interface which I am testing out now. Now I can easily post to my Blog using my PC. Thanks Microsoft Live.
