Microsoft today opened up a little on the results of its strategy for Windows Live Messenger Wave 4. We had the chance to talk to Dharmesh Mehta, Windows Live Director of Product Management, who explained to us that his team has realized the social networking market is not one that Microsoft should enter and just throw money at. Instead, he says, Windows Live is taking the low-cost and easier approach of partnering with the existing leaders of the social Web (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter were all mentioned by name).
