Just a short post to let you know that yesterday I was awarded with a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Windows Live award. I am very pleased and grateful to have received this award. I am looking forward to the coming year being a MVP in Windows Live with so much expectation and excitement around [...]

Earlier in the week Microsoft announced that it was releasing a new beta version of Skype for Macs and Windows that would allow users to video call their Facebook friends. This new feature expands the Facebook-to-Facebook video calling feature that was released back in July. It is now possible for Skype users to video call [...]

Next week I shall be visiting Microsoft UK to have a briefing about the new updates and features that will be coming to Hotmail soon. I have a few questions of my own already but I imagine that you will have many more questions that I can think of so I want you to let [...]

Well fear not for there’s plenty of places to catch up and see what all the excitement was about yesterday and why Windows 8 looks so good. Your first place to visit should be the http://www.buildwindows.com/ website which has a video of the keynote for you to watch. However I understand that some people might [...]

Well how was that for you? I’m not quite sure what to say nor indeed where to start with my coverage of Windows 8 now that is has been announced and demoed. It was easily the best keynote I’ve ever seen and has left me somewhat speechless as to what to say. Windows 8 is [...]

If the rumours are to be believed then there’s a lot happening with Windows Live over the coming months. Liveside has been reporting a lot about rumoured features for SkyDrive over the past few weeks and it all sounds rather interesting. First up it sounds like Windows Live will be going much more multi platform [...]

In the build up to BUILD (pun very much intended) I’ve been thinking about what to expect from the conference aside from the obvious Windows 8 news and one thing I keep coming back to is Windows Live. There are two big “things” that I think Windows Live can gain from the BUILD conference and [...]

Yesterday, in case you didn’t know (no idea how you could have missed it :P) Facebook and Skype announced a partnership that will allow Facebook friends to video call each other from within the browser. This is very interesting news and something I think will be very interesting/useful for Microsoft as it is in the [...]

I think this is a pretty good demonstration of how well Microsoft’s communication services can work together and how well they integrate with Facebook.
