Since the beginning of summer, a set of software products for the Windows platform has been tested — Windows Live Suite, which includes an email program, a messenger, a program for viewing graphics, a blog client, a browser panel and software for managing profiles. For Windows Vista users, this set is completely useless, but for XP users it will be a reason to delay the transition to a new-fangled OS.
In general, if you are not aware, then Live is an online service and the concept of desktop web-oriented software.
To install the Live Package Manager program on your desktop, download it from here (1.72MB). Note that for a successful installation you need to install all critical system updates and IE7. After installation, you will receive a full set of Live programs.
1. Windows Live Mail
In fact, it is the same Outlook Express, but only with an improved interface, which is very sexy among other things, which is completely redesigned in accordance with the latest requirements — changing the dominant color, no menu, as well as special attention to critical user actions, especially inexperienced, which lead to the opening of exe files and computer infections, etc.
Mail also has a good RSS reader. Feeds can get into it either directly by adding, or by adding RSS feeds directly from Internet Explorer 7. There are no OMPL import/export lists here.
By the way, when adding a new e-mail account, Mail recognized my Gmail mailbox and properly configured everything himself, requiring only an email address and password.
Based on the letters received, you can form posts to your blog.
Tomorrow we will tell you about other programs from Windows Live Suite.
