windows live

So they're basically planning on taking a bunch of stuff we already have in one way or another, and just consolidating it with the Microsoft brand?

Doesn't sound that great to me. It sounds like somethat that's going to alienate software developers even further.

I dunno though, I can't really decipher what they're actually trying to do with this Live business other than make a Windows package that has tools that everyone uses right out of the box.

If that's the case, I'd have to point out that Linux has been following this for years.
