Windows Live Rocks

I am a Beta user of Windows Live mail service. So when I sign into my Hotmail account I am redirected to the Windows Live Mail interface. Love it. Lots of great features a la AJAX technology. Drag and drop, context menus, lightning fast search. I can also get there from Live.com which displays an inbox mail Gadget. Along with customized news, the weather (I don’t need technology to tell me it is going to rain here in greater Seattle, but nice to have anyway) and other features. I think it is clear that Microsoft is on the right track with web based software services and I look forward to seeing what is next.
