Windows Live Writer: Out of Beta
Posted at 5:13 am on Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 | Posted in General
The one good blogging platform I like, Windows Live Writer is out of the Beta. This was posted on their blog 7 minutes ago. It seems over 1.5 million downloads were recorded for the last beta release. The previously Windows Live Writer is now named “Windows Live Writer 2008 (version 12.0.1366.1026)”. I don’t know why they HAD to add that 2008. Looks like Microsoft is superstitious about adding release years into product names.
The new writer offers spell checking in four languages:
- English (US, UK, Canadian)
- French
- German
- Spanish
Installation on Windows Vista x64 is now fully supported. But there seems to one little snag with the whole affair. The download button on the blog redirected to some Windows Live Page while I was trying. I think its fixed now. You can download the new Windows Live Writer by clicking on the link below.
