Windows Live Toolbar Beta Released...

Windows Live™ Toolbar beta



"What it is


A super-useful tool that helps you find stuff on the Internet faster and more securely.

 

What it lets you do

• Search from any Web page

• See a warning when a site may be trying to scam your personal info

• Cut down on unwanted pop-ups

• Collect, organize and share the info you find online

• Auto-detect a site’s RSS feeds, and have them automatically sent to your personalized Live.com home page

• Effortlessly customize your toolbar with only the buttons you want

• Access your favorites from any PC

• Quickly switch between Web pages in the same window

• Fill in Web forms instantly "

 

The new Windows Live Toolbar (which includes Onfolio) is now available for download... 

 

I have to wonder when a vendor/publisher/etc describes their product as "super-useful". Still it’s installed and seems to be working (and no reboot required.. Yeah!).

 

It kind of looks like then next version of the MSN toolbar (which makes sense) with bunches of new stuff. I dig how easy it seems to be to install and uninstall features (which it gets from the add-in capability from the MSN toolbar codebase?)

 

I’ll be playing with it (and Onfolio) for a bit and we’ll see...
