What is Windows Live Gallery?
Windows Live as you should all know by now is a new set of online services (client and server) provided by Microsoft.
It has things like Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Toolbar and so on. As you can see there is nothing revolutionary or earth shattering here, these kind of services and applications have been around for years. What is new is the seamless integration or should I say eventual seamless integration between these services. Kind of like Office.
Another big aim of Windows Live is to enable the user to customize or personalize these services. This is where Windows Live Gallery comes in. The aim of this site is to build a community around people developing and consuming customization content for Windows and Windows Live Services.
For people who have started using Vista, Windows Live Gallery provides sidebar gadgets. One of these sidebar gadgets, a cpu monitor gadget has already gotten over a million downloads!!!
Messenger junkies can find emoticons, winks, display pictures etc. One of my favorite is the dummy wink which you can use to make fun of other people's point of view.
I'd really like to hear what you guys think about this site.
