Live and let Live


With the new Windows Live services, I think Microsoft is taking it's first step in the right direction.  I've prolonged moving my workflow to them due to the fact the Calender applications weren't ready; now it's a different story.

I've switched to Live services for everything I do and I must say, I'm pleased.  Windows Live fills in the gaps other online services have (believe me, I've tried them all).  The online UI is absolutely beautiful, and the desktop applications are just as elegant.  Functionally there are very minor drawbacks you miss when working with the Live services,  but I'm sure those gaps will be filled over time.  The pro's definitely out-weigh the con's with the new Live services.
