Features
Currently, a notable feature of Windows Live Home is the ability to set the location of the user and display the current weather conditions for the city or region selected. The colour of the homepage also automatically changes according to the time of the day. This feature is similar to certain themes in iGoogle.
History
Windows Live Home was first revealed on August 3, 2007 at Microsoft Japan's annual Business Strategic Meeting 2008. It was expected that a new version of Live.com (now Windows Live Personalized Experience) will be released in Fall 2007, featuring a new interface design together with Windows Live service integrations. [2] Microsoft later confirmed that Windows Live Home is not a replacement for Live.com.
Some of the early announced features for Windows Live Home include:
- Providing access to emails and contacts through Windows Live Hotmail
- Showing upcoming calendar items from Windows Live Calendar
- Allowing blog and photo publishing direct to Windows Live Spaces
- Showing the status of Windows Live OneCare installed on the PC
The final version of Windows Live Home was released on October 15, 2007.
