Microsoft was set late on Tuesday to begin rolling out Windows Live Spaces, the next generation of its MSN Spaces blogging service. The new service will allow users to customize their site with blogs, photos and music lists.

Windows Live Space also features enhanced privacy tools that will let users specify who can contact them, see their profile and view contents of the site. Users will also be able to choose from hundreds of specialized mini-applications, called gadgets, to personalize their blog.
