Microsoft has decided to close down Windows Live Spaces. It has tied up with Automattic the company which handles WordPress.com. So from now on in the future every Windows Live Spaces blog will have to be migrated to WordPress.com. All new sign-up will be redirected to WordPress.com.
This was announced by Microsoft and Automattic at the Techcrunch Disrupt.

Good strategic move by Microsoft. Instead of wasting energy in an area where they have little chance of beating competition, they should now use it in improving Windows & Bing further.
I don’t think many people used Windows Live Spaces.
