Microsoft released the complete version of Windows Live

The Windows Live service and application package has officially escaped from beta last night, and Microsoft is actively planning a marketing campaign, aimed at bringing Live to 1 billion Internet users in the next two months.

For the first time since Microsoft announced the Windows Live initiative so far, users will be able to access and download all the services listed in the online catalog without any restrictions. Previously, you had to search (via the Web) the specific name of the application / service and then get the download link.

According to analysts, this "confusion" is a measure for Microsoft to measure and calculate the level of user interest for Windows Live.

" We are not in a hurry but are willing to wait until the maturity time ," the Microsoft representative said.

To support the massive launch of Windows Live, Microsoft will begin advertising and marketing for this project on all of its owned websites.

Windows Live is the name of a series of services and web-based applications, built by Microsoft in the hope of competing with Google in the Internet district, while attracting more advertising cash flow.

Although Microsoft is not concerned about its profits in the short-term future, it feared the ability to make money effectively from selling advertising on Google's online services. Therefore, the company is actively accelerating for the web department, to avoid losing the "land" to the search giant.

Microsoft divides Windows Live into two groups: online services (such as Windows Live Hotmail) and applications that users can install on computers, such as Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Photo Gallery. A specific list of applications / services can be easily found on the Windows Live home page.

However, Microsoft notes that not every product present in the previous beta version is also involved in the official release. They are Windows Live Skydrive, an online file hosting service and Windows Live Calendar, a personal calendar building service.

' They will be released later, when quality and scale meet our requirements '.

Microsoft will continue to release new Windows Live services in 2008, in the framework of updates. The biggest goal of Windows Live is to support and revolve around the new Vista operating system, to give users an 'unprecedented' experience.
