The site currently features two video interviews, aiming to promote different features of Windows Live services. One interview is with Leah Pearlman, a program manager on the Windows Live Messenger team, and the other with Reeves Little, a program manager on the Windows Live Mail team. They basically talk about different features that are in the different services and why you should use them.
The other main promotion of Windows Live seems to have been around some Microsoft campus'. Niall Kennedy photographed a special mail box which has been made with Windows Live Mail branding on the side on the Redmond campus. View the image on his flickr account. As well as this, futileboy caught some shots of a Windows Live Messenger golf cart. View the images: 1, 2, 3. These promotional pieces both contain the address http://golive which has obviously been set up internally by Microsoft for its workers to find out more about Windows Live.
In other news, live.com has been updated again, with new features including the choice to switch between a search only or personalized (with gadgets) page layout, support for more languages (the list is so big it will go off-screen for most people) and the appearance of the Windows Live ID icon next to the sign in/out text.
Also, some official Connect butterfly testers of Windows Live Messenger have started to receive their gift - a Windows Live Messenger laptop case/bag. TheSteve from the Fanatic Live forums has photographed his, showing the design of it - a picture of the Windows Live Messenger buddies on the colour scheme of white and grey, with a reflective strip and the Windows Live Messenger logo also on it (note: the image has Fanatic Live watermarked on it, this is not on the bag).
Finally, it is thought that tabbed chats will become a feature of Windows Live Messenger very soon. It has already been confirmed that they will come sometime and it is a highly requested feature. But now over at mess.be Inky, who is currently doing an internship at Microsoft with the Windows Live team, has said:
Besides my own top secret work, I can assure you some really cool things are coming your way (and some very soon!), including one of the most requested features for Windows Live Messenger. Of course, being a Microsoft employee now, I can't reveal too much information (or rather barely anything at all!) so you will have to be patient... But it is definitely worth waiting for!
