Microsoft Corp. launched this week the next generation of Windows Live with a new set of tools and services.
Now you can share your media data with anyone, from anywhere, who have Web access across multiple devices. This release was based on a Harris Interactive Inc. study commissioned by Microsoft, a study that came out with the fact that more than two out of three online consumers (67 percent) agree that they would use an all-in-one service with a single username and password for organizing and managing everything they do online.
Chris Jones, corporate vice president of Windows Live Experience Program Management at Microsoft, gives a quit excerpt of the impact of upgrading to the new Windows Life version: “This new generation of Windows Live brings great enhancements to popular services like Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Spaces while introducing new, fun experiences with digital photos, planning and sharing events, publishing to the Web, and keeping in touch with friends that we think our customers will really enjoy.”
The Windows Live set of services is composed of several free PC applications connected to services delivered over the Internet. Windows Live is available in one simple download experience that enables consumers to choose any or all of the Windows Live applications they want, and keep their software and services up to date as Microsoft and the rest of the industry continue to deliver new innovations over time.
