Announcing: Windows Live Dev (Beta)

The Windows Live Platform team has launched Windows Live Dev (http://dev.live.com/) as a portal for developers looking for information on the Windows Live Platform. The site includes information on developing with Live Services, including Custom Domains, Expo, Gadgets, Live ID, Messenger, Search, Spaces, and Virtual Earth. It also has sections with information for Hardware developers, business opportunities with Live, and an area where we will be highlighting interesting mashups, developed here at Microsoft or out in the community.

This initial offering is still in beta. It will grow with more content, as well as more services geared toward developers, including a cool new way to work with Windows Live Contacts (coming later this week), information on developing with more services as APIs come online, and a single appID provisioning experience.
