Microsoft pitches Windows Live bundle
All web services in a single download

Microsoft
has rolled out a new offering which bundles its
Windows
Live web services together.
The company revealed on its
Windows
Live Wire blog that it will distribute several beta versions of its web
services in a single installer, allowing users to obtain multiple applications
with a single download.
Microsoft said that the ultimate aim is to tie its burgeoning web service
business with Windows. The software giant is currently locked in a competition
for the web app sector with rivals
Google and
Yahoo.
"This new suite of applications is a new way that we can make connecting,
communicating and sharing anywhere a terrific experience on your Windows PC,"
said Chris Jones, vice president of the Windows Live team.
"Together with our web services, we have a complete suite that combines the
best of the web and the best of Windows, and works the way you want."
The suite includes Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows
Live Messenger IM and a blogging application known as Windows Live Writer.
Users who do not wish to have the entire suite will still be able to download
the applications individually.
The announcement comes just one day after Microsoft made a major announcement
about another big web project, releasing a
Linux port of
its Silverlight rich internet application plug-in.
