I recently updated my personal laptop to start using MS Windows Live. So far, I have to admit that I like it. I have never really been a fan of Microsoft products but never really rebelled against the "man" (aka Bill Gates).
I did notice a bit of a performance hit on my computer after I installed and started using the app. I have learned to live with it and decided to continuing using it for the next little while.
Some of the features that I have used so far that I like:
- Live Mail: I have multiple personal email accounts (yahoo, hotmail, etc.) that are now all accessible from one app. It was easy to configure.
- Live Writer: This blog post was created with Live Writer with much ease!
- Live Messenger: Of course, Messenger is a plug-in
- Ease of use and resembles Microsoft Outlook / Office
- I know, I know....your thinking the "cool fool" thinks that is a feature...
- well, when you use MS Outlook and Office products as much as I do throughout the week at work, it makes using Live quite brainless on the weekends...I could use it in the dark.
- Even the MS Office shortcuts apply to Live.
So, give it a try but don't let me know what you think. Tell it to the "man".

I hate it. It makes my laptop cranky.
