i am using windows live writer to write this blog post…figured out would test out the windows live essentials pack (beta) and see if it was any good or not.  i have to say that i am quite impressed so far.  the mail client looks a lot like outlook, this writer is pretty cool.  messenger is pretty sweet and integrates with facebook (no gchat ) and i haven’t dug into movie maker of the photo gallery yet.  i plan on checking out the sync function to.  looks like you can sync folders and applications as well as do a remote sessions all for free with microsoft sync.  could this be a turning point for microsoft?  could they actually start making some decent stuff?  anyways…I recommend checking it out for yourself…enjoy!
