Microsoft To Replace “Live” Branding With “Microsoft Account” In Windows 8

winliveThe long-running "Live" name Microsoft has placed on its many connected services (Mail, messenger, photos, etc) is coming to an end in Windows 8, as part of their ongoing, major brand rehaul. Zune, of course, has been on its way out for some time, but will receive the coup de grace in Windows 8. Their main services are being rolled into bundled applications with a native Metro look and simpler names — Mail instead of Windows Live Mail, Photos instead of Windows Live Photo Gallery, and so on. The new apps will be tightly integrated, as we've seen in demos, and will retain much of the Live cross-service functionality. They'll be unified by a single "Microsoft Account."
