New Windows Live Writer - Microsoft Makes Mistakes

If you can read this, I’m publishing it from the new beta of Windows Live Writer. Sadly, the first two things I’m going to say about this tool are:

  • Why the hell do I need administrative privileges to install a blog authoring tool?
  • The installer tries to change my browser homepage: that’s a no-no.

Come on Microsoft, you know better than this, and you have smart people working there. Why look like such an amateur?
