Well it’s been a long time coming but it’s time to say goodbye as I have now removed my blog tagline of “Windows Live Butterfly Heaven!” and replaced it with “ICT Systems Manager by Day, Blogger by Night.” I’m not sure if I shall be keeping the new one, but the Microsoft Windows Live Butterfly program closed in June/July 2009 and well I was trying to keep hold of that last little bit of nostalgic, but times move and it was time that my tagline did so too… Sad Day! 🙁

The Windows Live Butterfly awards program (formerly the MSN Butterfly program) was a program whose members were given the benefit of new Microsoft software to test before the beta releases went public and they were in direct contact with the program managers for Windows Live products.

Microsoft had initiated the Windows Live Butterfly program in order to recognize the contributions made by exemplary beta testers. Prospective ‘butterflies’ were selected by the Windows Live product team and were nominated for a term of one year, after which they could be renominated.

The Windows Live Butterfly program was closed in June 2009.
