I’ve been using Microsoft’s Windows Live services for a few months in BETA (and, in fact, I’ve been using Windows Live Writer to post to this blog).  Well, today Windows Live is out of BETA and ready for its close-up.  If you haven’t tried Windows Live - a suite of software designed to manage your online life including Live Mail, Live Messenger, Live Writer, Photo Gallery, etc. - give it a try.  It’s actually quite useful, and it’s free.

Oh, and e-mail addresses with the @live.com domain are now available, too.  Grab one while you can. 

For more information on Windows Live, visit the Windows Live Web Site.  If you’re using Windows Live Messenger, IM me at m.nichols@live.com.
