Windows Live Ideas vs Google Labs
June 22nd, 2006
Microsoft is serving up some new gear as they get closer to the Vista release.
The release of Windows Live Messenger is here! This is the next-generation MSN Messenger. The name is new, but it is still free to download Messenger and use most of its features. And there are some remarkable new ways to instantly share and connect with friends.
This is another idea from Microsoft, it came out just few days ago and already over 2 million downloads. There are plenty of unique features like sharing folders, Live Call which allows you to ring ordinary phones from your PC, full screen video calling and Live Contacts that self-update when details change. You can read more information at their new site: http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
I believe all of these feature packed applications that Microsoft are working on will be bundled up in their upcoming new Operating system: Windows Vista , but only time will tell and we shall see.
Windows Live Ideas is where you can check out the very latest Windows Live products—so new that they’re not even finished yet. So give them a try and then tell us exactly what you think. And don’t hold back. We need your help to make these products the best they can be.
This website reminds me of Google Labs, and their beta applications that are currently available for everyone to download and try out for free. I predict that Google will split into two sectors of their company, one will focus on their main revenue producer which are google adwords, adscense and the other will continue developing software applications and might even take on Microsoft in their battle of taking over today’s corporate environment.
