Windows Live Platform: our interview with Angus Logan

Angus Logan is the Senior Technical Product Manager for Windows Live Platform, a title he only dusts off occasionally.  Usually he's too busy building out content for Windows Live Quick Apps, or creating cool tools like the Messenger IM control, or working with Chris Keating from Windows Live Gallery to build a gadget to add that IM control to Spaces.

We met up with Angus in a conference room in Red West A, where we talked about Windows Live Platform, complete with whiteboarding:

Angus talks about the 5 categories, or buckets, included in the Windows Live Platform, along with the Terms of Use:

  • Rich Media (Silverlight, Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live)
  • Storage and Sharing
  • Communicating and Staying Connected
  • Finding and Locating (Search, Virtual Earth)
  • Identity / Authentication

We talked about those five categories, took a high level look at the Windows Live Platform, talked about where the platform is and where it's going, and spent some time talking about what's coming up, including CES and Mix08.
