The other day, it dawns on me that Microsoft has killed all their download links for Microsoft Windows Essentials 2012.
This was a slight problem because I was going to get my son started with doing some video editing with Windows Movie Maker 2012, but the download links were gone. Luckily, I keep a lot of the installers I download; that included the last full installer of Microsoft Windows Essentials 2012.
Since the death of Windows Live Writer, the Open Live Writer dev team has given it a new life and making small improvements over the past year. While there has been some improvements, the application is still has a lot of the old dependencies.
Take for an example, in a recent forum post an user posted an error with using the Blogger service; saying he was getting error 501.
I've been blogging for a long time and my favorite application to use for generating my articles is/was Windows Live Writer, but Microsoft has since sunset that product. It's been replaced by Open Live Writer. Over the past year, since the Open Live Writer team took over the development of that application, the development team on GITHUB has been busy in the background making small improvements.
The latest version of Open Live Writer can be found on the Windows Store. Just do a search for Open Live Writer. The application will be installed and should be available for automatic update as they're issued.
