On the heels of a rough couple of weeks for Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces blogging platform — and the Live Spaces team that’s been working round the clock to fix the myriad bugs introduced during the Live Spaces platform upgrade — Microsoft has rolled out a beta of Windows Live Writer, a blog-authoring tool for Spaces and other blogging platforms. On August 13, the first day the beta of the tool was available for download, a number of Microsoft watchers around the Web were giving the WYSIWYG Live Writer high marks.
