Windows Live Writer - Not Applicable for me......

I've tried a part of Windows Live namely Windows Live Writer and I don't understand why I had to download the application on to my harddrive and install the program.

I thought the Windows Live effort by Microsoft was to stake their space in the "Web 2.0." Granted, Windows Live Writer offers WYSIWYG editing, ease of adding photos, videos, maps, and working with the the major blogs players, i.e. WordPress, Typepad, Blogger, and Micrsoft's own Spaces(nothing yet for My Space, Vox, Livejournal, Facebook?)is great.

But, to me if you need to download and install a progam locally to create content for your blogs, or other "Web 2.0" presence, is like going backwards 2 steps to take 1 step forward.
I love the fact I can just get on the Internet and use Windows, Linux or OS X computers to create my content and post the content, without having to be tied to a particular local computer.

I know for me, this is the way, for now.

Sorry, Microsoft, you need to rethink what you what to be in "Web 2.0"
