I was chatting with Ian Moulster who works in the Windows Live team the other day over lunch about all things Windows Live. For me this is a very exciting part of the Microsoft business.

A good place to learn more is at Windows Live Home. If you've not tried out Windows Live Software and Services already, try exploring the following link for installation and setup. You get lots of goodies to play with. For example I am using Windows Live Writer to write my blog, you get an online Blog, Photo Gallery, Mail etc. etc. and something call SkyDrive (5 GB of file storage) plus lots lots more...

Ian has written a post detailing what services you can use with a Windows Live ID.

There is also an excellent article where Microsoft Windows Live GM Brian Hall talks about Microsoft cloud-based computing and social networking technologies today.
