Windows Live Writer Out of Beta

Windows Live Writer 2008

I know I’ve been behind a little bit, but how did I miss this one? My favorite blogging tool just went legit. I’m downloading the latest version right now and will take it for a spin.

Was there a big announcement? I sure didn’t see anything, and I think this is a big deal to a lot of people. Did Microsoft drop the ball on this or have I just been asleep at the wheel. Let me know…

    I heard it first from you. I’m subscribed to MS Writer feed and it hasn’t announced it yet.

    Thanks, Mike. Then this has to be the softest launch I’ve ever seen. Is that how we do things now; slip quietly from Beta to GA?

  3. Hey!

    Sorry that we snuck this one by you. We think it’s a big deal too :) . We did post to our Space earlier this week, but Microsoft announced a bunch of stuff at the same time, so perhaps it got lost in all the news…

    Sorry and hope you like the ‘gold’ version!

    Best,

    Charles (MSFT)

    Thanks, Charles. I love this product and I know a lot of other people do too. So far it looks like my late beta was a pretty good release candidate. No major surprises.

    Congrats to your team. I’m going to be exploring your plugin API very soon.
