Windows Live ID Client 1.0 SDK Alpha CTP 1

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en


Overview
We are excited to introduce the alpha version of Windows Live ID for client
applications!
The Windows Live ID Client 1.0 SDK provides a managed API for Windows Live
sign-in. Included in the release is a sample application together with its
source code so that you can build your own client applications.

Please note that the use of the Windows Live ID Client 1.0 SDK is governed
by our license agreement.

Benefits:
.. No need to worry about the technical details of authentication! The
Windows Live ID authentication service manages this process for you.
.. Don't bother worrying about how to store and retrieve user account
information! The Windows Live ID service uses the same functionality as
Messenger to cache the user name and/or password for use in later user
sign-ins.
.. By enabling Windows Live accounts to directly sign in to your site, any of
the hundreds of millions of users who have a Windows Live ID can become a
user of your site.
