I wonder perhaps if they are only doing this because Google now has a desktop package conveniently called Google Desktop that comes with a lot of the same things and a cool widget organizer for your desktop.

In addition wouldn't it just be easier for them to give you the pop settings to put hotmail into Outlook than creating a branded 3rd party mail client that only works with hotmail when they already gave us Outlook and Outlook Express?
Well I suppose they have the big bucks to pay the programmers...
Info:
"You already know the power and ease of Windows Live™ Hotmail®. Well, we're bringing you new, free Windows Live software and services that'll work great with your current Hotmail account and give you new ways to connect and share how and when you want.
Think new software for your desktop—like Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Photo Gallery, and Windows Live Writer. Plus services you can tap into when you're online, wherever you are—Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, and OneCare™ Family Safety. The best part is, they all work together so you can combine the power of Windows and the Web.
Now's your chance to get the latest versions of the Windows Live services you already have, as well as what's new."
