As Microsoft gets ready to launch Windows 8 operating system, it is
planning to do away with Windows Live brand in favour of an
all-connected 'Microsoft account.' Chris Jones, vice president of
Microsoft's Windows Live group posted on the official Microsoft blog,
"Today, Windows Live services are used by over 500 million people every
month. Its services run at massive scale, and Windows Live Essentials
applications are among the most popular applications in their
categories. While these results are certainly noteworthy, they still did
not meet our expectations of a truly connected experience".
Even with such a following Microsoft is dumping Windows Live as "Windows Live services and apps
were built on versions of Windows that were simply not designed to be
connected to a cloud service for anything other than updates which
created some amount of customer confusion."
The software company
is aiming to sort out these issues with the launch of Windows 8 which
will "provides us with an opportunity to re-imagine our approach to
services and software and to design them to be a seamless part of the
Windows experience, accessible in Windows desktop apps, Windows Metro
style apps, standard web browsers, and on mobile devices."
