,----[ Quote ]
| To borrow a phrase from Microsoft's past, this is a brazen attempt to
| cut off Microsoft's future air supply. The latter company is losing
| share in search, failing at ad placement, trying to find a new leg
| to growth, and generally floundering expensively in these crucial
| new fast-growing markets.

Is Windows Live dying?

| Over the last year, Microsoft's Windows Live service lineup has

Microsoft Office Live migration is adding insult to injury

| re: the migration. The news isn't good.

| Office Live logoBeta testers are still potentially "months" away fromb
| eing migrated to the final version of their Office Live services.
| Functionality like backup and restore isn't going to work until
| their accounts are migrated. And Microsoft will give testers only
| a 24-hour heads-up when they are set to be migrated. During that
| 24-hour period, users won't be able to make changes to their
