Apart from seeing several Windows Phone 7s yesterday I was also able to learn some other things. I accompanied Tom Warren to an interview with Microsoft. During the interview I was able to ascertain that Microsoft will be allowing enterprises to distribute apps to select groups of employees over the coming months, there was no [...]

When logging in to Hotmail this morning to see if I had received the upcoming update I noticed that the sign in page has been decked out with some new icons. I think it odd that photos doesn’t have the icon used by Photo Gallery or photos.live.com, but these new icons and text quickly highlight [...]

The Hotmail team in the UK have been doing some serious research into finding out how much “me” time British citizens have. The stats seem to show we are a very hard working nation with nearly have the working nation taking work home with them after their 5 days at work a week. 13% of [...]

Windows Live has long had a mobile aspect but this has often been downplayed and for some things deservedly so. However from what I can tell and expect Microsoft will be raising the presence of its Windows Live mobile efforts later this month.

Its interesting because, as is increasingly apparent, Microsoft don’t want to compete directly with many online [...]

Earlier this week I asked “where is Windows Live’s IE9 support?”, well it appears my question has been answered. When having a quick read through the comments on the most recent article on Inside Windows Live (its not something I often do, but might have to do more often) about the new features coming to [...]

Yesterday, as you have probably heard, Microsoft tweaked and updated much of the Windows Live online services and brought some new features to the Office Web Apps. Its nice to finally see the new SkyDrive logo being used, hear of new improvements coming to Hotmail and I think that allowing people to embed PowerPoint and [...]

Seeing as Windows Live is part of the Windows team I would have thought that Live.com would make full use of the new features in IE9 but currently when dragging home.live.com down to the task all that appears is a small favicon, not a large one. There is also no jump list feature, which is [...]
