Exclusive inside
Ok, so I was invited to the Microsoft headquarters in Brussels, for an exclusive view on MSN's future (with a bunch of other bloggers) and to listen to the pretty alternative Phil Holden.
As a total Apple freak I had to go and see.
I have to say, most of the stuff was totally new, since I never used it.
Very often I had the idea 'hmmm, I recognize this from somewhere' but then with more AJAX effects.
I have to admit: I love the Windows Live Messenger Idea.
And I am sure their spaces stuff will work for my grandfather and so, but I'll never work with it since well... I appear to be that kind of geek that wants to adapt things herself. Not mainstream...
And the idea of the regular phone connected to your Live 'passport' was pretty attracting -but I'll wait for the Apple iPhone anyway...-.
Life search was interesting and needs to be checked out.
Phil Holden
Update: LVB did an excellent review, so did Coolz0r as expected (and I am just too lazy to do so..)
For those readers amongst you that are Windows fans:
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Search
Live.com
Windows Live Domains
Windows Live Family Safety Settings
Windows Live Favorites
Windows Live Expo
Windows Live Local
Windows Live Mail Desktop
Windows Live Safety Center
Windows Live Onecare
MSN/ Windows Live Spaces
Apparently they are doing a lot over there. :)
If they continue like that with online products, maybe they'll even cancel their Vista launch. Lol.

I really need to start profiling myself a bit more in the belgian blogosphere if I want to be one of the lucky few who get invited to these kind of events :)
I would've liked to be present, just to see what these guys are up to. I've been out of the loop for quite a while and it looks like they're closing the gap.
