Briefs: Microsoft Launches Windows Live Apps But What Happens If You Can't Download on Your Computer?; New Issue of U.S. Copyright Office NewsNet Now Available
The programs are "essentially a free upgrade for Windows," said Brian Hall, general manager of Windows Live at Microsoft.
The package includes Windows Live Mail, which can grab messages from multiple free Web-based e-mail accounts, including Microsoft's Hotmail, Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Gmail and AOL e-mail. The new package, launched Tuesday, allows PC users to read and respond to mail even when they're not online, just as Outlook Express, which Microsoft has phased out, did. The package also includes Live Writer, for writing blog posts, the Live Messenger instant-messaging program and Live Family Safety, parental controls for Web surfing at home. The applications aren't much different from test versions previously available.
