Windows Live ID Sign-In Assitant 6.5 Beta
February 17th, 2009 | by kfinney |For all you Microsoft lovers out there that have been diligently testing and filing bug reports on Windows 7 there is now a beta release of the Windows Live ID Sign-In Assitant. This download basically installs the online provider for Windows 7 so that applications can link to your Windows Live ID.
Straight from the horses mouth, “Through the online provider, the Sign-in Assistant helps a Windows 7 application running on one computer identify and communicate with other computers that are associated with the same Windows Live ID. Just by linking your Windows Live ID to the user account on each Windows 7 computer you own, you enable those computers to identify each other and work together more easily than has been possible in the past.” This opens up good ol Microsoft to enable things such as document sharing with access controls. You can now specify who you wold like to access certain items by linking their Windows Live ID to that item.
So for all you testers out there, go have a look and download if you’d like. Then give us a comment!
