Interesting article. It looks like a good application, but it doesn’t seem to have any benefits over Wordpress’ built-in editor. I could see why it might be useful for Blogger or Live Spaces, but the Wordpress editor is very good in my experience.

Gr8. But how do you tell your contacts that you have published??
Windows Live Writer is surely a good tool and I used to use it earlier before Wordpress 3.2 but now I am happy with the interface of WP 3.2.
