thats pretty cool. thats one thing that i havent gotten around to tyring (beta software I mean), Microsoft Live. I might go mess around with it a bit if I get time. At the moment Google interests me more than boring old Microsoft. Besides, I highly doubt that anything Microsoft releases could be better thatn Google’s worst failures….
