Windows 7 and Windows Live
By Internet Handholding @ 6:53 PM :: 862 Views :: 0 Comments ::

:: Windows

Web 1.0 was static and one-way websites, you getting information or ordering products from websites.

Web 2.0 was social media, with you interacting with others via websites.

Web 3.0 is the integration of websites with one another and programs on your computer, where the lines between your computer and the Internet fade.

Windows 7 and Live.com infiltrate Web 3.0 into your daily tasks without you taking notice.

I have been using Windows 7 for a few weeks now and like it a lot.

Windows 7 is integrated with Windows Live.com.

If you do not have a Hotmail.com or Live.com email address, go to Bing.com and register a Live.com email address before you do anything else.

Various programs will use your Live.com email address to blend the work you do on your computer with Microsoft's websites.

The first of these is Windows Live Mail.

Windows 7 comes with Windows Live Mail, which I am using instead of Outlook. When you configure your Windows Live Mail on your computer, it asks you for your Live.com email address and then uses the online system as needed.

For example, suppose you want to send your friend a dozen photos. If each photo is a megabyte, you would be sending your friend a 12 megabyte email, which would break a lot of mail programs.

Windows Mail will now ask you if you want to only send thumbnails. If you say yes, Windows mail will automatically upload your photos and send only the thumbnails to your friend. Your friend will then be able to click on thumbnails to see the photos.

There are lots of other ways Windows 7 intergrates with Live.com.

With Windows Live Writer, you can update all your blogs without leaving the comfort of Windows 7.

Let me know of anything cool you find out.
