Windows Live Essentials 2009 Review | |
|
||
| Time: 14:30 EST/19:30 GMT | News Source: Windows SuperSite | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Paul Thurrott: It's astonishing to consider how dramatically Microsoft's strategy for Windows has changed over the past decade. Ten years ago, Microsoft was being sued by the US government for bundling so-called middleware products in Windows, potentially harming competitors and consumers alike. Many, myself included, questioned the strength of the software giant's eventual antitrust settlement, but the ramifications of that agreement don't just persist today; they in fact guide Microsoft's product development in ways that few could have possibly foreseen. The most obvious result of that settlement, in fact, is the Windows Live Essentials suite, a collection of Windows applications that, a decade ago, Microsoft thought nothing of bundling directly into the OS. Today, they are free but separately acquired. As Windows users, we are all the benefactors of that change. | ||
