Microsoft are renowed for getting ‘usability’ right with their products.
Windows Live Writer is no exception.
Three things I like:
- 1. Installation is easy.
- Download, install – then point at this blog url – and it detected I was running WordPress without any problems.
- No fiddling with the correct url for the XML-RPC side of things. No need to remember that I’m running WordPress. (Remember – this is easy for non-technical people)
- 2. It looks good.
- Hey – I can use Textpad, Wordpad, Pico, Joe, VI or just pipe from the shell if I need to. But often it’s a lot easier just to have something that works and works well.
- It looks a lot like Word – or any other Microsoft Office app.
- 3. In place preview – with your theme.
- Oooh – this is a sexy feature. Look at the screen shots.

I don’t usually link to Microsoft – this time is an exception.
There is a fascinating interview on Microsoft Technet Port 25.

Flaky hard drive in my firewall server.
Time to replace it methinks. It keeps crashing out with bad surface – and bringing down the firewall and squid box.
Trouble for me if there is no web browsing or email!
