Windows Live growing out of control
After Vista and Office 2007, Microsoft's biggest push this year has been Windows Live, its collection of internet-enabled apps and services that includes the likes of Windows Live Local (successor to MSN Maps), Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger), and the confusing trifecta of Windows Mail (nee Outlook), Windows Live Mail (nee Hotmail), and Windows Live Mail Desktop. So how many Windows Live products are there in total? Microsoft's Windows Live Ideas site lists 20, but Windows Live Product Planner Ken Foley counts more than twice that number at feedback.live.com. Has Microsoft gone overboard with its new Windows Live brand?[Via Microsoft Watch]

Well, i don´t think they have been overboard, they are in for a KILIING not to just represent you know.
Yahoo is now into a general upgrade, and Google has begun his own in anticipation to Live wich start in a full public form in two-three weeks (Global advertising) , so that kinda says it all..

Windows Mail is the new name for Outlook Express not Outlook.

I don't like the names all that much, but they haven't gone overboard at all. They need to ramp up ASAP to get into things seriously with Yahoo and Google, and I personally hope they do well.
