Windows Live: where it's at, where it's going
LiveSide just posted a podcast interview with Angus Logan. You can also get to it from Angus' own blog, which is worth the trip in any case. Angus is the Senior Technical Product Manager for Windows Live Platform and the main go-to guy for Windows Live Platform technical questions.
From the LiveSide podcast description:
Angus talks about the 5 categories, or buckets, included in the Windows Live Platform, along with the Terms of Use:
- Rich Media (Silverlight, Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live)
- Storage and Sharing
- Communicating and Staying Connected
- Finding and Locating (Search, Virtual Earth)
- Identity / Authentication
We talked about those five categories, took a high level look at the Windows Live Platform, talked about where the platform is and where it's going, and spent some time talking about what's coming up, including CES and Mix08.
All this in 25 minutes! Not deep, but a great overview of what's going on with pointers to more info. Enjoy!
