Windows Live Services

Hello there,,,

Recently I've downloaded Windows Live Services such as (Windows Live Mail, Writer, Messenger, Photo Gallery) and it is one heck of a product.

Now you don't have to use the Internet Explorer to write on your blog, simply by using Windows Live Writer you can write on any blog you have using this software like what I'm doing now.Also Windows Live Mail has a remarkable Interface which is close to Outlook 2007.

here is the link for Download:
