Microsoft will release the first beta for another service, Windows Live Mail Desktop, in mid-March, the company said. The service is an e-mail client that is similar to Microsoft's Outlook Express offering and can work in conjunction with Windows Live Mail and other services. Windows Live Mail Desktop will make offline mail, account aggregation, and other services available for free to Windows Live Mail users, Microsoft said.
Microsoft introduced its plan to offer hosted services under the Windows Live moniker last fall. A beta version of Microsoft Office Live--a hosted service offering small businesses Web-site hosting, e-mail, CRM (customer relationship management), and business intelligence--also is available now.
Should be good
