Windows Live Apps
At the world Wide Partner Conference in Denver this year Microsoft announced two complete applications built using a range of Windows Live technologies that will have the source code available so that developers and partners can build their own applications based on the code. Some of the Windows Live services used in the applications are still in beta or alpha. So this is cutting edge stuff but also means that some of the features can’t be used in production yet, also be aware that these applications will evolve and be improved over time, and we’ll continue to add more applications covering different scenarios
Software + Services was the key theme of Steve Ballmer keynote speech at the World Wide Partner Conference 2007 in Denver and "Windows Live Quick Apps" was announced in that same keynote. "Windows Live Quick Apps" will be featured in the “Windows Live Partner Guide” and the applications have been developed here in the UK by AWS and Conchango with support / sponsorship from UK DPE Live team and Microsoft Corp Windows Live Platform team for worldwide use. The applications are terrific examples of what can be achieved with Windows Live. The idea is that they will not only inspire developers by showing them what can be done, but will also give them the tools (the source code) to continue to develop them further
