Microsoft call it a 'Live' Platform. Many more images of Microsoft Live is available at Flickr. Some initiatives look more similar to the web2.0 mash ups we see on the net today. So, this sounds more like an Microsoft Windows 2.0 [ powered by Web2.0 ]. Microsoft has all the resources on earth to execute the most appealing product ever to be built but the bottom line remains innovation and creativity.
Check out various ideas microsoft has for its live bandwagon at ideas.live.com. Some interesting services I find appealing,
1. live.com : A gentle mashup of start.com. Windows Live (which is in beta) is a Web portal with a "Sidebar" navigation system, tools for searching and reading RSS feeds, and "Gadgets" which can extend its functionality. It seems to be, basically, a repackaged version of Start.com, another experimental Microsoft portal that's been around for awhile.
2. Windows Live Mail : It’s all new web mail, built from the ground up. Preview your e-mail without loading a new page each time (like Outlook®) drag and drop messages into folders, and generally power through your e-mail in a flash.
3. Windows Live Safety Center : It’s like taking your PC in for a tune up at the service station. If the service station was free and available 24/7. Get free on-demand virus cleaning and a comprehensive PC health checkup to help keep your PC running its best. It has Protection, Clean Up and Tune Up services.
4. Windows Messenger : This will be the next-generation MSN Messenger. The name is new, but it will still be free to download Messenger and use most of its features. And there will be some remarkable new ways to instantly share and connect with friends.
5. Windows OneCare : The things you should have to help protect your PC, but probably don’t because they’re such a hassle. Stuff like virus scanning, firewall settings, tune ups, and software backups—tied up with a bow and delivered to you in a friendly, easy-to-use package that runs quietly in the background.
These service has a beta tag necked to it. They are looking out for beta testers.
Happy Live Testing!
