Windows Live

Windows Live are several applications in beta form that are strictly online and basically just a portal to the internet. Taken directly from Start.com it seems, which isn't surprising. There are already other sites using this sort of technology, one of them I am using right now called Netvibes. Normally I don't use a homepage or any kind of start page, but this one is really nice. It supports RSS/Atom feeds and is VERY simple to setup just the way you want it.

But I regress - Windows Live is a step in the right direction for Microsoft since alot of applications will be going live and online like I've previously blogged about. Of course they didn't come up with the idea, but they have the money to really do something with it. Between them and Google/Sun Microsystems, this is going to be fun to see how this develops, which will bring good and healthy competition. The race is on.
