Windows makes it Live WiFi

Watch out, people, Windows Live shoots on everything. VoIP? Pam. Social networking? Pam. WiFi? Pam Pam. WiFi is the latest product to integrate the Live platform, still in beta.
Live WiFi consists of three services: the Live Connection Center, to manage user’s wireless connections; the Live Hotspot Locator, a mashup service that looks like a “Del.icio.us WiFi hotspots”, in which users can find others’ favorite hotspots; and the Live Safety Center, to check up the connection level of security.
Soon, the WiFi product would and should be combined to others already in development. Take for instance the Windows Live offers the Live Search for mobile. You search on your Web-enabled mobile device, and Windows Live forwards maps, directions, pictures. Now, if you’re within the range of a WiFi access point, Windows will put you and the contact on a VoIP phone call.
In short, it was just a matter of time, but going WiFi is a natural organic growth for the Windows Live tree.
