Windows Live Writer is one part of the Windows Live suite.  Windows Live includes client side programs, web applications as well as mobile services.  I recently got interested in the mail portion of Live: Hotmail.  Hotmail has been undergoing a lot of changes recently and it is shaping up as a competitive mail app.  Hotmail is closely bundled with other web apps including Messenger, Photo Gallery,  Office web apps, and a 25 gig storage cloud - the 'SkyDrive'.

The client side programs include Messenger, Photo Gallery, Mail, Movie Maker, a Bing browser toolbar, Family Safety (an internet filter for your kids' online activities), and Writer - this blogging tool.  Writer would certainly like to post to Microsoft's own Windows Live Spaces blog, but it also claims integration with WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, SharePoint, 'and others'.

Since we use B2evolution here at Jackrabbitscrewball, I am just going to hit the publish key and see what happens.  I'm crossing my fingers and now wondering if there's a mobile version of Writer too cause that would be pretty cool!
