Windows Live Quick Applications

10 July 2007

Greetings from the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, here in Denver Colorado.

Today, Microsoft is announcing the first two Windows Live Platform Quick Applications, Contoso University and Contoso Bicycle Club. (This is the thing that’s been keeping me busy lately!)

More information here

The sites themselves are available at

and

Dont forget to install Silverlight first.

Basically these applications demonstrate how you can use Windows Live Services in your own web applications. The great thing is that Microsoft is releasing them under an open source license (MSPL). Source code available on Codeplex
