November 8th, 2007 Live Services Out of Beta

Despite fangirling about all things Macintosh, I still like Windows and Microsoft.

No, seriously.

So I’m pretty happy to mention a few services that are out of the Beta stages from Microsoft.

First of all, the little Windows program that stole my heart, Windows Live Writer is now out of the beta phase! So if you’re using a Windows OS and you haven’t tried Windows Live Writer, go and get it. I swear by that little piece of freeware.

Secondly, Microsoft now has Windows Live IDs available. You can now get an @live.com email / Passport ID for Microsoft services. A cool feature with the Live.com IDs is that you can link to your hotmail / MSN emails!

I did this with my primary email, mini_moochan@hotmail. I snatched up mchan@live.com. And once I registered mchan@live.com, I linked to my Hotmail account and BAM. I can check emails from both accounts at once.

mini_moochan still works, so feel free to keep sending me email through there. But if you’re lazy and don’t like how long my email is (I think it’s pretty long), you can send mail through mchan@live.com and I’ll get it just fine.

The same can be done with your own Hotmail account. Tired of your horribly long account name? Get a teeny Live name while your desired name is still available.

Oh yeah. I have candy corn. =3 Yum!
