Microsoft says *snap* to Google

I haven’t had a chance to finish my "2.0 be or not 2.0 be" post… coming soon, but in the mean time…
Microsoft has hit the Web2.0 community with a bang and a resounding echo is hopefully being heard at your nearest Googleplex. Microsoft has announced an early, yes Beta, release of Microsoft Live at a recent event. Some features are available now, with a planned rollout of additional tools in the coming months. There are many, many articles all over the web on it right now from people who actually attended the event, so please read up on those. But the one release that really impresses me is their next generation MSN client. It fuses web-based chat, MSN Mappoint, VoIP-to-POTS calls, your address book and your email all in one slick interface. You can check out a review and screen cap through TechCrunch
