MS Live Writer 2009? Experiences? Opinion?

Hey folks,

Has anyone tried the latest desktop posting software from Microsoft (Live Writer 2009)? It is apparently free.

Would you share your opinions and experience with it?

How well does it integrate with WP 2.7? How easy to use? Any problems?

Thanks!

I just installed last night after hearing good things about it from a wordpress blogger. here's the review. It does fully integrate with Wordpress 2.7. I like the interface its nice and clean. I think I'm going to go ahead and start using it for my blog. Its also fast. And you can't beat free!

I use it all the time, and I've been very satisfied. I actually stumbled upon it, and now I wonder why they don't do a better job promoting it. It really is great. And, it's free!

Thanks, All. I installed and have posted a couple of items with it. So far, I'm pleasantly surprised. Not everything is intuitive, but I sure find it faster and more convenient than using the WP control panel.
