Now you can access the Microsoft Digital Lifestyle. It is an excellent Flash-based website designed to offer a centralized location for the digital lifestyle that users can associate with the Redmond company. The website is housed over at Microsoft UK, and although there's no mention of a project under development, it feels only half done. The concept is similar to what Microsoft is doing with Windows Live, providing a single point of gravity for the plethora of products and services it delivers. The only distinction between the
Digital Lifestyle website and
the new
Windows Live homepage is the fact that, while the latter is focused exclusively on the offerings bundled under the Windows Live umbrella brand, the company's digital lifestyle provides a luxuriant display of what Microsoft has to offer.
"Here you can do more, learn new things, share with family and friends and count on support at your fingertips. Looking for simple and exiting ways to enjoy, share and manage the things you care about? You're in the right place. From blockbuster movies to household bills, we'll show you how technology can help you do more and have more fun," reads Microsoft's promise. And the website is structured in accordance with categories related to music, TV and movies, memories, communications, productivity, gaming and education.
Additionally, the Microsoft Digital Lifestyle will connect you with various solutions available for download, for PC tune-up and tweaking, for security and support. Users will be able to get general information about Microsoft products, with Windows Vista, the 2007 Office System, Windows Live and Xbox. "The Microsoft Digital Lifestyle is something that's really close to my heart, being a keen Xbox 360 gamer, a lover of Media Center, but most of all, an evangelist of Vista, and this site combines all those things, and more, for your pleasure," stated
Matt McSpirit, Microsoft UK Partner Technology Specialist.
