Webware 100 winner: Windows Live Home

by Webware staff

Windows Live Home is a one-stop place to monitor all your activity on Microsoft's various Web properties. People can get a bird's-eye view on their Hotmail, Live Spaces, and Live Calendar, and easily see who's on Windows Live Messenger, and how much space they're using on their SkyDrive.

Users can also add all sorts of customizable gadgets to their Live Home page, as they would on Netvibes or My Yahoo. That same directory houses gadgets that can be included in the Windows Vista sidebar, or on their Live Spaces or Events pages.
