I’m writing this Blogger blog post offline using my recently installed Windows Live Writer software. This is one of the very few Microsoft products to receive almost unanimously positive reviews based on what I have read on the web.

Besides Blogger, Live Writer also works with other blog clients including LiveJournal, Windows Live Spaces, Typepad and WordPress.

As well as the ability to write offline (very useful when travelling or in a house without wireless Internet), Live Writer also has WYSIWYG editing, image insertion, inline spell-checking and many other useful features.
