Windows Live Events is a Windows Live service enabling users in Windows Live Spaces to share and plan different types of Events happening around them while collaborating with other services such as Windows Live Calendar and Windows Live Spaces. In 2010, Windows Live Events is going to retire, and existing data will be removed. This is the first of a series of decisions to be made according to one of the core principles for Windows Live Wave 4, the next version of the Live services, stating: "Simplify!" The Windows Live team announces:

We'll be retiring Windows Live Events and allow you instead to plan and manage social events all in one place through Windows Live Calendar. [...] In 2010, we'll retire Windows Live Events entirely. At that time, you will no longer be able to get to any of your old events, and you won't be able to download and save old event photos and videos.
