Microsoft launching Windows Live updates
It looks like Microsoft is preparing to launch the latest versions of Windows Live Mail, Messenger, Writer, Photo Gallery, and Family Safety.
If you've been keeping track, you probably know that Microsoft has already released beta versions of most of these applications, and a nice little unified installer app that lets you install a bunch of Microsoft services all at once, if that's the kind of thing you're inclined to do. We'd like to think that each service will work a bit more reliably once they emerge from beta, but having spent the last few months with Windows Vista, we've learned to temper our hopes.

Maybe you should change the name of this blog to AppleSquad or GoogleSquad or something like that...
Does EVERY post have to have some kind of shot at a Microsoft Product in it?
I have this blog in my RSS Reader (Windows Live Mail) because of the nice articles Web 2.0 apps and stuff like that but man... the constant shots at MS are just getting lame.
I have been using Vista for almost a year now and it is by far the best and most stable operating system I have ever used (I do have an iMac as well)...
Windows Live Mail is hands down THE BEST mail client outside of Outlook... period.

The last sentence on the post was a rather turn-down. I kind of agree with Jason, the thing where you guys really pay little attention to what Microsoft is doing. I mean, there's a couple of things that I find interesting every so often about MS, but it never gets into major tech blogs for some reason.
At least you guys put a post down for this one.

Gotta agree with Jason (and not just because we share the same name!!), sorry DownloadSquad but these shots at Microsoft are becoming a little too often and it's starting to get a little unprofessional.
