Microsoft Launches Windows 7 Cloud Apps

Photo Gallery and Movie Maker apps, released today as part of the new Windows Live ‘Wave 3’ family, are the first to replace their Vista counterparts in Microsoft’s next-gen OS

Included in today’s worldwide launch of Windows Live Wave 3, the third generation of Microsoft’s online services, are the cloud-based apps that will take care of your email, photos and home movies in Windows 7 rather than use OS-resident software.

Windows Live Mail has been out for some time, of course, but now you can download the new Windows Live Photo Gallery app plus a beta of Windows Live Movie Maker.

Unlike pure cloud apps that live only online, each of these has a fully functional offline mode. However, they also have extensive hooks into an online equivalent.
