Dan Thorpe is introducing Windows Live.
What is Windows Live? It’s a HUGE user base. [also I think it’s MS’s noble attempt to catch up and ride the Web 2.0 wave]. It’s Windows Live Services.
Hotmail 240 million
Messenger 230 Million
Spaces 130 Million users
Wow!
The internet has evolved into a social mechanism centered around….”me”. Your life is about relationships first.
MS want to create a virtuous ecosystem that mutually benefits users, developers, advertisers, and MS. Sounds virtuous to me…… the MS Big Happy Family Paradigm.
