The Windows Live Platform Quick Applications are pre-built vertical scenarios (shared source (under MS-PL)) which showcase areas of the Windows Live Platform. You can download the code, rehash, remix, rebuild, resell, use as a starter kit or implement as is... or just use it for some good geek fun.

Below are 2 of the existing Windows Live Quick Applications and 1 which will be coming out soon.

Membership Organizations (Contoso Bicycle Club) (code)

Education (Contoso University) (code)

This demo uses quite a few cool things, but the underlying guts of it the Contacts API where if you are a student of Contoso University you can delegate permissions for this web site to access your Windows Live Address Book (Hotmail / Live Messenger / Spaces friends). You can list all your friends and their location can be plotted on a map - try it.

Coming Soon - Customer Acquisition / Professional Services (Contoso ISV)...

This is the demo our team delivered for Steve Ballmer's keynote @ Worldwide Partner Conference in front of 10,000+ Microsoft partners. The scenario is a Microsoft Partner's website tricked out with lots of great stuff, customer's can come to the site, view the videos, blog entries, presence of the authors and then start a conversation with a sales representative. The sales representative can schedule the sales call without leaving Windows Live Messenger.
