I was previously using an internal build of Windows Live Writer when I recently switched production laptops instead of using my tried and true BlogJet blogging software. I figured - "Hey - why not? A fresh install of Vista deserves some more DogFood..." Once I tried Live Writer - I was hooked. My only disappointment at the time was the fact I wasn't able to share it with people outside Microsoft. </P> <P>I noticed on <A href="http://blogs.technet.com/cdnitmanagers/archive/2006/08/14/446597.aspx">Canadian IT Managers</A> that Barnaby mentioned Live Writer going public on Sunday. Well I'll be... After checking out their <A href="http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/blog/">live spaces site</A>&nbsp;it looks as if Windows Live Writer is getting some very good reviews out there in the blogsphere. I've posted this up on <A href="http://blogs.technet.com/canitpro/archive/2006/08/14/446749.aspx">Canadian IT Pro</A> and I am testing the editing capabilities once posts have been made.</P> <P>If you haven't checked it out yet - have a look see. </P> <P>Windows Live Writer Blog site... <BR><A href="http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/">http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/</A></P> <P>Direct Download link...<BR><A href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/9/a/f9a19...">http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/9/a/f9a19...</A></P> <P>Humm... now for group posts.
