Today, Microsoft is rolling out some of the sweeping changes to Windows Live it announced two weeks ago. Windows Live seems to be gradually replacing MSN as Microsoft’s central hub for everything you do on the Web.

The new home page shows both your email and an activity stream of what your contacts are doing across the Web. It’s more FriendFeed than Facebook, with a little MyYahoo thrown in. You can also customize it to show the local weather, your calendar, and news headlines. A handful of recent your photos are displayed at the top, along with a search box and links to other Live services (Profile, People, Mail, Photos, Events, Spaces, Groups, SkyDrive, and even MSN).

The new services here are Groups, Photos, and Profile. The Profile page shows all of your activities on Wndows Live as well as other Web services like Twitter, Flickr, and Yelp. Groups lets you set up collaborative pages with others and includes a group calendar. Windows Live Photos also has a nifty slideshow feature that uses Silverlight to change the background color to match the dominant color in each photo.

With this redesign, Microsoft is also boosting the storage limit of its online file storage service, SkyDrive, from 5GB to 25GB. Primarily that is to make Windows Live Photos a more competitive photo sharing service. The photos take up storage in your SkyDrive account.

Miguel de Icaza has today announced the release of Moonlight 1.0 Beta 1. This test release brings in Microsoft Media Pack for playing back video and audio files that is a direct decedent of the decoders found in Silverlight 2.0. For those unfamiliar with Moonlight, it's a Mono-powered open-source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight, which in turn is a web-browser plug-in that competes with Adobe Flash... pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/MjpPugCjvsUGM1RSLwPyHADlH1Y/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/MjpPugCjvsUGM1RSLwPyHADlH1Y/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phoronix/~4/umE_NM0dFZs" height="1" width="1"/

div class="flot_gauche"img src="http://www.siteduzero.com/uploads/fr/files/145001_146000/145663.jpg" alt="Image utilisateur"//divIl y a de cela un an, a href="http://www.siteduzero.com/news-62-16264-microsoft-silverlight-1-0-est-disponible.html"on vous annonçait /ala sortie de strongSilverlight/strong 1.0, un plug-in développé par Microsoft permettant d'afficher des applications dites « riches » (audio, vidéo, ...) sous Windows et Mac OS X. La concurrence dans le domaine est rude, on citera notamment Flash développé par Adobe qui est majoritaire dans le marché actuel.br / br / Dans cette news présentant Silverlight, il était question de strongMoonlight/strong, une implémentation span class="italique"open source/span pour strongGNU/Linux/strong (entièrement soutenue par Microsoft) ; il y a peu, sa première strongbêta/strong est sortie (correspondante à Silverlight 1.0).br / br / br / h3Quelques rappels à propos de Silverlight/h3br / br / Comme son concurrent Flash, Silverlight permet la réalisation de beaucoup de choses. Le plug-in permet entre autres de créer des interfaces riches en 2D/3D, lire des vidéos (au format WMV ou VC-1) ainsi que de la musique (WMA ou MP3).br / br / Il intègre un moteur Javascript et une bibliothèque Ajax, le tout basé sur le langage acronym title="eXtensible Application Markup Language"XAML/acronym créé par Microsoft. Concernant les applications, elles peuvent être développées dans n'importe quel langage du framework .NET (en C#, par exemple).br / br / Une version 1.0 est déjà sortie depuis un certain temps, cependant, a href="http://www.siteduzero.com/news-62-30317-microsoft-devoile-silverlight-2-en-version-finale.html"la version 2.0 a récemment vu le jour/a et est bien plus conseillée. br / Microsoft s'avance même en parlant d'une version 3.0, qui serait plus axée du coté multimédia. Cette version possédera de nouvelles capacités 3D ; concernant les formats, le codec H.264 sera supporté et on envisage l'AAC (mais cela n'a pas encore été confirmé). br / br / Alors que l'on comparait Silverlight 2.0 à Flash, nous passons à une concurrence directe avec a href="http://www.siteduzero.com/tutoriel-3-3400-air-tout-sur-adobe-air.html"AIR/a (qui lui aussi est un produit d'Adobe) ! br / br / h3Moonlight/h3br / br / div class="flot_droite"img src="http://www.siteduzero.com/uploads/fr/files/145001_146000/145664.png" alt="Image utilisateur"//divTout d'abord, il faut savoir qu'il existe un projet nommé a href="http://www.mono-project.com/"Mono/a réalisé majoritairement par les développeurs de a href="http://www.novell.com"Novell/a ; son but est simple, il s'agit d'effectuer une implémentation libre du framework .NET.br / br / Il est disponible pour Windows et Mac OS X, mais aussi pour GNU/Linux, c'est pour cela qu'il est intéressant (car, pour rappel, les applications .NET ne sont censées fonctionner que dans un environnement Windows). br / br / Il y a peu, Mono a fait parler de lui, puisque sa version 2 est sortie ; la compatibilité avec le framework s'en trouve largement améliorée. En 2006, un accord a été signé avec Microsoft qui l'engage à ne pas porter plainte contre Novell pour violation de ses brevets logiciels. br / br / Maintenant, parlons de Moonlight, un logiciel issu du projet Mono. Il s'agit d'une extension pour Firefox permettant la lecture de contenu Silverlight. Le développement a débuté au mois de mai 2007, sous la gouverne de Miguel De Icaza. br / br / Rapidement, des premières versions alpha ont fait leur apparition, et c'est maintenant au tour d'un première bêta de voir le jour ! Malgré tout, pour l'instant cela sera compatible uniquement avec Silverlight 1.1, au détriment de la version 2. img src="http://www.siteduzero.com/Templates/images/smilies/triste.png" alt=":(" class="smilies"/ br / br / h3Conclusion/h3br / br / Alors que la première bêta de Moonlight vient de sortir, la version 2 est d'ores et déjà en cours de préparation. Comme on peut le supposer, elle assurera la compatibilité avec les applications Silverlight 2.0.
