Windows Live is Live!

So, I know a few people who have been working on different aspects of Windows Live over the past few years.

Yesterday, the newest version of the Windows Live Home Page was launched.

It's very cool. I use hotmail (all of my email gets forwarded to this account for easy accessibility) and Dick and I both use the Windows Live Calendar for keeping track of our individual and combined schedules.

The new home page is really cool. It has everything upfront so that you can see your latest emails, your next calendar appointment, the temperature outside, etc., all at a glance. Very handy.

My favorite part? (cause I'm a dork) The dynamic themes that users can choose from.

I'm using the one with the little dark haired girl, and her little cat. They are so cute! What's so dynamic about it? Well, the header picture changes according to what time of day it is, and what the weather is like.

For example, here's what my home page looked like around 7:30 this morning:

Foggy early morning

Here's what it looked like around 8:30 this morning:

Still foggy, but some sunshine

...and here's what it looked like around 10:30 this morning:

Cool, and sunny

Isn't that seriously cute? I love following my little girl and her cat around throughout the day.
