I'm an avid Yahoo user, and Yahoo offers much of what MS promises with

provides much of that information through back-end partnering with other

calls a "new initiative" is really an old idea, rebranded and remarketed
to convince the world that they need MS.
So the short answer is, centralized management of resources. Instead of
entering all our data in Quicken or Money, our "service provider" pulls
all that data from our bank, credit card, and investment sites and
presents that to us in one package. I would use that. I pay for
Quicken. Why wouldn't I pay for the service?
Hi, there. Just like to say this is my philosophy, as well. I'm an avid
supporter of integration of various data sources instead of having it
all in one place. I plan on doing this with Jabber, since it's very
capable with some coding work.
