LiveSide obtains Windows Live Calendar

We've been hearing rumors of a new Windows Live Calendar for more than a year now, and thanks to a Microsoft employee in Belgium, we can finally show you that it really has been worth the wait.  Featuring the Windows Live flair, a clean look, hi-res photo manipulation, and a solid support mechanism, Windows Live Calendar has almost instantly become my favorite calendar.

In a surprise move, the new Windows Live Calendar is only available in German (but what a German!).  In addition, a companion support site - http://www.windowslivediscovery.de/wld.asp - features more of spokesmodel Lena Gercke.

Happy April, everyone, enjoy!

(want a calendar?  tell us why in the comments and the best answer gets one)

Hey, this is fun! Could so send me a calendar?

Why? Well because:

1. I visit liveside.net every day

2. I'm testing all windows live products, so I'm a BIG BIG fan!

3. Because of that female model "April" :-)

4. Because, you got me with your april joke... and I can only forgive you if I receive that calendar (LoL)

Greets! And keep up the good work and let's hope, that live calendar will come out soon!

I would use the calender to keep track of all those important release dates etc for all the Windows Live products, as well as using it to make sure I know when im uni so I can pass my exams and one day work for Microsoft and be part of the Windows Live team.

I would like to receive this calendar (if its true), because I am addicted to live services and like to get products with the Microsoft name signature (as the brand).

My room's color is blue, and that calendar is blue... therefore it gets along with my room.

I am going to be a future Microsoft employee, and I would like to feel as I am special (like I'm one of tens to have this calendar in the whole world).

Thank you liveside.

Because my ancestors developed the most accurate calendar known to mankind, the Aztec calendar. Lol, well, I'm Mexican, so I guess I can say that. And because I was about to buy a calendar today for $.99, but it was Apple-related, so I decided not to buy it, just like everyone else who didn't buy it before it was sent to the $.99 store. Lol.

I would like one because thats its the only thing missing from my Windows Live collection.

And I really like LiveSide, and I hope it grows and grows, and grows, and grows, and grows, and rows, and gets more and more and more and more and more visitors, cause YOU GUYS ROCK! When ever I want to find something out about Windows Live, first place I check is LiveSide.net. I love getting those WL alerts, and Email alerts about new postings, this site is kept up to date. I love Scott's Windows Live Writer plugins and the template(s) he has created for them. He knows how to explain stuff so that everyone will understand. Chris Overd is so nice, and so cool, he is so fun to talk to, he lightens up my day, and has done a wonderful job with LiveSide.net. The redesign of LiveSide.net is beautiful. Thanks to Long Zheng for the design. You know that I will find any bugs on your site, or anything you guys create and tell you asap, thats why, i just found one while i was posting this, you guys may want to change your copyrighy year to 2007 Liveside. :-) Whenever one of my friends asks me where to find Windows Live related information, I tell them, check out LiveSide.net, thats the best source of information for Windows Live. And they just love your site!
