Microsoft Adding Blogs to Longhorn?

In related news, MSN is being split into two subdivisions, one of which will take care of communications tools (Messenger, Passport, Hotmail, ISP service), while the other will deal with Web properties (MSN.com, etc.)"

  1. Oh boy more useless cr@p by blaksaga · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Oh boy, more useless cr@p in an already useless and cr@ppy OS. ANd let me guess, these features are "closely tied to the OS" and cannot be uninstalled?...and whenever the crappily coded blog apps fail it brings the whole system down? Ha...this really doesn't even concern me anymore as I am now 100% MS free with gentoo linux and lovin every minute of it. Does MS really need to add more useless bulk???
