Trying out Windows Live Writer

It’s a very Microsoft-ey weekend.  Yesterday I installed Windows 7 Build 7000 on my MSI Wind netbook, and … WOW.  I have to take my hat off to Microsoft because they really have heard our complaining over the years.  I guess it took them a boot in the pants like Vista to do it.  Win7 makes this netbook work faster that with XP or Linux.  Also, it required me to download NO drivers, and all of the function keys work as well.  Amazing.

Windows Live Writer seems pretty cool too – connected to my WordPress instance, downloaded my theme and categories and presents a nice editing experience.  I must be in an alternate universe – a whole weekend not being annoyed by windows.

I am almost speechless. Maybe I am going to have to check out some Windows 7 goodness. I do love the Media Center and hear they made that even simpler while keeping the nice UI.
