Introducing …Windows Live Writer
| August 19th, 2006I just foind this really cool app called Windows Live Writer I have to say …for everything microsoft has done…Maybe …Just maybe…they got something right… this thing is nice…It lets you do anything that the web interface does ….Except easier it even does catagories, tags , comments (enable/disable) , trackbacks , pings , timestamps , blockquotes ..everything …And for ONCE …just ONCE they are NOT forcing you to use there service …msn spaces ….Im using it right now for wordpress…and also …it is VERY easy …it took me about 30 seconds to startup (and thats with downloading posts too) All it needed was my blog address and user/pass
Im writing this post with it now …Here are some pictures :
You can even insert maps from Windows Live Maps

Overall this is a pretty neat piece of software…even if microsoft made it…It is very smooth and integrates well , even with non-microsoft products (*gasp*) it is even STANDARDS COMPLIANT (*double gasp!!!*)
