I've given in. In spite of my completely indefensible prejudice that Microsoft is the Evil Empire and Google is warm, fuzzy and out to slay dragons in my defense (well, just look at the name, for Pete's sake), I've gone and gotten a Windows Live account. In spite of their admission on the so-called "privacy statement" that, yes they do require personal information and, yes, they combine that with information obtained from other companies, and yes, they use cookies and 'other technologies' to keep track of my interactions with their sites and services -- well, I have no excuse.
My reason was that some folks I follow have been waiting with bated breath for the next release of Windows Live Writer, and I supposed I'd give it a try. So this is my Windows Live Writer Test Post. If all goes well, it should look the same to you and be easier for me. That's what we call a "winning value proposition" in the jargon.
But I still feel like I should skulk around and go atone for something somewhere. Anyone need their dishes washed?
