We're excited to report that the completely redesigned photos.live.com is up and running!

Here are just a few reasons why you should go check it out:

• Beautiful new views of your photos, including an amazing Slide show view.
• 25 GB of FREE storage! That's a ton of pictures of any resolution plus there's no more 500-per-month limit on photos.
• The photo-centric What's New feed on photos.live.com shows you the photos your friends are sharing.
• Spaces and SkyDrive photos are now combined, so all of your photos are in one place.
• Better permissions give you greater control over who can see your photos online.

And that only scratches the surface of the new Windows Live Photos service. In future posts, we'll take a look at more of the amazing features Photos has to offer. For even more information, read the SkyDrive team's blog post.
