Edit, Organize, and Share Photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery
One of my favorite features of Live Photo Gallery is how easy it is to import my photos into organized folders. Live Photo Gallery automatically groups photos based on the time you took them. Each group of photos is saved in a different folder, and you can immediately add tags to the photos to make them easier to find in the future.

Share movies online using Windows Live Photo Gallery
Sometimes, I think I just take digital pictures and movies for the sake of taking them. It's easy to just let them live on my camera, or not much better, on my computer, with very few people ever seeing them. But the movies you take to deserve to be shared, and you can share movies using free Windows Live applications and services.

Microsoft Takes on Adobe… Huh?
June 15, 2005 - Last week when CNET broke the news about Microsoft's latest beta graphics software (codenamed Acrylic), they spun it as a big event that Microsoft was planning to take on Adobe… I spent some time looking over the Acrylic Web site and reading comments from the Microsoft reps in the Acrylic feedback forum, and I didn't get this impression at all!
