More options from Microsoft



MICROSOFT Online Services Group recently announced the availability of new services such as Windows Live SkyDrive, Windows Live for Mobile and Messenger TV to all Malaysian users.

This offer is for the 7.4 million-strong MSN and Windows Live community in Malaysia where they can get the software and services for free.


Enhancing the new generation of Windows Live Services, the introduction of the SkyDrive, which uses a password to protect online storage and sharing space, gives users a set of tools to access files with family members and friends.

With the service offering 5GB and a maximum upload file size of 50MB per file, you can upload up to five files at the same time.

SkyDrive comes with three different folder options – personal, shared and public folders.

"It’s a great way for people to keep information they need at their fingertips in order to access directly or share it with family, colleagues or friends," said Craig Law Smith, Southeast Asia Microsoft Online Service Group marketing director. The Windows Live SkyDrive, launched at skydrive.live.com is available in 64 countries, including Malaysia.

The Windows Live for Mobile service provides users with a one-stop access to their favourite applications such as Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Space.

This service gives a quick and easy way to find contents and services and features new technologies that customise the experience for each user device.

The smartphone version of Windows Live for Mobile is available for Windows Mobile handsets and selected Nokia Nseries and Eseries handphones. This service is also available to the new Blackberry 8 series and 7 series smartphones.

"People want to stay connected wherever they are, and we believe that your phone should bring your world with you while you’re on the move," said Chris Chandler, Southeast Asia Microsoft Online Services group’s head of mobile.

For other mobile users, a browser-based version of Windows Live for Mobile is available and can be accessed at http://mobile.live.com .

The Messenger TV, another new service for the Windows Live Messenger, allows users to choose a range of the best premium videos from the MSN Video and watch it at the same time as they chat with friends through Windows Live Messenger.

Users can now share a selection of free content and videos among friends on Windows Live Messenger.
