http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/07/28/windows-live-wave-3-new-photo-feed-service-windows-live-frameit.aspxWith the recent deadpooling of Windows Live Expo , you could be forgiven for thinking that Microsoft was rationalising its online services. That’s not the case though, as this whois search shows. Microsoft appears to be preparing a new online serviceenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/07/28/windows-live-wave-3-new-photo-feed-service-windows-live-frameit.aspx#8911Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:10:09 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:8911Mephiles<p>Hopefully they will be cheaper in the future.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8911" width="1" height="1">http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/07/28/windows-live-wave-3-new-photo-feed-service-windows-live-frameit.aspx#8910Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:08:02 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:8910Alber1690<p>There we go...if they dropped the price to $199.99 for display purposes, added 3/4/5 to the box, then put in this Microsoft service, and there we have this Christmas' best-seller.

But they really need to drive the cost down, to the point you buy 3, 4, or even 5 as a package for the price you pay for one right now. Time obviously will be the key to this as the cost for making them should go down, but imagine, going to your local Costco, getting a package of 5, with different size frames, all connected and synced together, and with this Microsoft service, it should be a hit. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8908" width="1" height="1">http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/07/28/windows-live-wave-3-new-photo-feed-service-windows-live-frameit.aspx#8907Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:38:04 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:8907Khristopher<p>LOL!
