Above The Cloud

I’ve often wondered what the complete list of services are from the Live Services brand.

Well recently I was looking through the Terms and Conditions for Live Services (yes I had nothing better to do at the time) and discovered in the appendix this list of services and reference material that I thought I would share (below). What’s not covered in this list (as far as I can see) is Popfly and Virtual Earth.
