Windows Live Home was a web portal launched by Microsoft as part of its Windows Live services. It aimed to bring many of the Windows Live services together in one place, by providing a central location to access Windows Live services and monitor status information.〔(Windows Live Help for Windows Live Home )〕 ==History== Windows Live Home was first revealed on August 3, 2007 at Microsoft Japan's annual Business Strategic Meeting 2008. It was expected that a new version of Live.com (later Windows Live Personalized Experience, now defunct) would be released in Fall 2007, featuring a new interface design together with Windows Live service integrations. 〔(LiveSide.net: Get ready for a new Live.com - Windows Live Home )〕 Microsoft later confirmed that Windows Live Home would not be a replacement for Live.com. Some of the early announced features for Windows Live Home included: *Providing access to emails and contacts through Hotmail *Showing upcoming calendar items from Windows Live Calendar *Allowing blog and photo publishing direct to Windows Live Spaces *Showing the status of Windows Live OneCare installed on the PC The final version of Windows Live Home was released on October 15, 2007. One notable feature of the first release of Windows Live Home was the ability to set the location of the user and display the current weather conditions for the city or region selected. The color of the homepage also automatically changed according to the time of the day. Windows Live Home was updated on December 2, 2008 as part of the overall Windows Live Wave 3 update. In April 2010, , the former address of Live Search, which had become Bing by then, started linking to Windows Live Home. The service was updated to "Wave 4" release on June 7, 2010. In 2012, Microsoft began to phase out the Windows Live brand, and introduced Outlook.com as a future replacement for Hotmail. As Outlook.com sends users directly to their inbox when logging in, there is no equivalent of Windows Live Home. After the final Hotmail accounts were migrated to the new Outlook.com UI in May 2013, Windows Live Home ceased to exist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Windows Live Home」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
