mynetx: Do you think the Win­dows Live team cares for their users’ de­mands? Why?

Sean Brad­ford: Def­i­nite­ly, as the Win­dows Live ecosys­tem evolves so do the prod­ucts. Win­dows Live Home­page is a per­fect ex­am­ple. When the “What’s new” feed was launched back at CES 2009, users re­quest­ed more feeds be added. Since then Mi­crosoft has added 40+ ser­vices to the list of part­ners, in­clud­ing Face­book, Digg, Twit­ter, and much more.

mynetx: Look­ing into the fu­ture: With­in the next five years, where could you pic­ture Win­dows Live?

Sean Brad­ford: Win­dows Live has grown tremen­dous­ly since its ini­tial launch. I think the main focus on Win­dows Live has turned to its on­line ser­vices. As more and more on­line ser­vices are launched, I fore­see Win­dows Live be­com­ing a cen­tral hub for com­mu­ni­ca­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion for users.
