Windows Live - More than an AJAX Desktop
Michael Arrington from TechCrunch has a great summary and preview of Windows Live. He is calling it “Much more than an AJAX Desktop” and says that “After what I saw today, I despair for many a silicon valley startup. Seriously”. Apparently there are some great features that include Skype like VOIP to POTS phones, and great email integration (as long as you’re using Hotmail).
Like all MS products, it’s been built with no regard for non IE/WIN folks.
I don’t really have a problem with that. It’s their business and they can choose to do what they want with it.
I also have choices and can choose whether or not I will support their products. As consumers we can speak with our money and behaviour. Me, I’ll be sticking with Firefox and choosing other equally if not better products!
