Microsoft readies Windows Live Marketplace
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
'Agora,' the soon-to-be-unveiled one-stop shop for Windows Live services, is expected to take its cues from Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace. Expect some kind of 'points' system, plus third-party and/or user-developed services to be part of the new site.
Microsoft is expected to field a public beta of its new "Windows Live Marketplace" site, possibly as early as August 28.
Code-named "Agora" ? the Greek term for "marketplace," the new one-stop shop may supersede the current "Windows Marketplace" site, according to information from Liveside.Net.
