Here are 3 more commercials from The Rookies Series which features more cute kids, Sam, Lewis and Danni. These aren’t available on the Microsoft Watch the Ads website so far, but I got my hands on them via WindowsVideos Channel on Youtube. Here they are:
Meet Lewis. At just 5 years of age, Lewis is new to photo sharing. A rookie. Yet he...
Sometime ago, I had blogged on how you can use Google Chrome’s Windows XP skin in Vista or 7. It involved setting the compatibility option to Windows XP. But, this same trick didn’t work for Windows Live applications. Recently, I came across Messenger Aero Switcher made by the blogger at mynetx. It lets you change Messenger’s skin...

More themes in Hotmail (including some that change based on time of day or weather)

Google and Yahoo already have such a feature, but I like Live’s implementation the best, as you just have to type in the resort’s name, where as for Google and Yahoo you need to put the keyword...
