Just thought I would make a post about Windows Live Products!
About a year ago Microsoft decided to start re-naming some products to "Windows Live"
The new version of MSN is now called Windows Live Messenger, and has a few new features in it as well as some features that will be coming soon.
Other Live Products that have been released are:
- Windows Live OneCare - Microsoft's AntiVirus, Firewall etc program (also has file backup facility)
- Windows Live Favorites - Do you go away sometimes and use another PC and wish you have access to your Favorites? Well this online-tool stores your favorites so you can travel with your favories
- Windows Live Custom Domains - This feature allows you to use your own domain name on the Microsoft Mail Services (i think that just means you can use your own email address through the Hotmail / Windows Live Mail software)
There are also a number of other features under testing:
(All have Windows Live before the name)
- Windows Live Mail (to replace Hotmail) - This has sbeen around for a while, this is a more up-to-date Hotmail, and funaly enough Yahoo are changing their system, and AOL have changed their web-based system and they all look the same!!!
- Windows Live Mail Desktop - Displays any new emails you recived including mail from Gmail and AOL as well as newsgroup posts and RSS!!
- Search - The new msn search!
- Toolbar - just like the google toolbar, allows you to search, and has popup blocker in it.
- QnA - a Question and Answer site with anyone being able to contribute i think!
- Microsoft Office Live - not quite sure but it says it gives you a Website email and more!
- Shopping - Look for products you want and read reviews.
- Product Search - Focuses on Consumer Products, giving you a entire world of shopping online
- Expo - Exchange goods, ideas or information
- Local - More for the U.S. giving maps, directions, bird's eyes views, satalite pics (sounds like Google Earth to me lol )
- Safty Center - Protect your computer and keep it tip-top shape
- Accademic - Research Journals for research
- Search - Mobile - Live Search for mobiles
Excuse the way its worded thats how microsoft worded it :P
