Provide all of your students and alumni with free e-mail accounts that potentially never expire, featuring a custom domain name selected by your institution. You and Microsoft\u00ae can bring your school the same e-mail, messaging, and collaborative services that a global network of millions of people already successfully utilise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HOSTED E-MAIL<br \/>\nWindows Live Mail\u00ae hosts over 200 million active accounts. And for good reason. E-mail enthusiasts know that MSN provides them with a highly reliable e-mail service and great features, including large storage capacity, junk e-mail filtering, and anti-virus protection tools. And our combined Calendar is great for keeping students on schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Live MESSENGER<br \/>\nUsing Windows Live Messenger students can study together and connect with friends, family and professors through Voice and Video Conversation3. Seamless search makes studying a snap. Students can keep in touch with classmates and family, and even form study groups, online.<\/p>\n<p>MSN SPACES<br \/>\nEvery student gets a personal MSN Space online to post blogs, pictures, favourite links, and more. A great way to stay networked with friends, family, and colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>MSN MOBILE<br \/>\nStudents can check e-mail, send and receive instant messages and even upload pictures and blog postings to their Spaces from an e-mail-enabled mobile device.4<\/p>\n<p>MSN ALERTS<br \/>\nSend students and alumni special alerts, such as school news, class updates, student union info and even scores for college sports.<\/p>\n<p>SAFETY &#038; SECURITY<br \/>\nThe Windows Live @ edu Program offers anti-virus protection tools and junk e-mail filters to help protect against viruses and unwanted e-mail. Students can even filter e-mail into different categories, such as family, school, spring break, etc. Windows Live Mail anti-virus protection tools help protect against worms and lets users choose from several levels of security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Windows Live @ edu demo<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagine-wl.com\/education\/demo\/WindowsLive.Education.demo.sm.wmv\"><strong>PLAY IT<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagine-wl.com\/education\/demo\/WindowsLive.Education.demo.sm.wmv\">(low bandwidth)<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagine-wl.com\/education\/demo\/WindowsLive.Education.demo.lg.wmv\">(high bandwidth)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.darrenstraight.com\/blog\/images\/2006\/03\/edubanner.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagine-wl.com\/education\/\">http:\/\/www.imagine-wl.com\/education\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve already blogged about the\u00a0Windows Live Custom Domains\u00a0system before but I never knew until recently that Microsoft\u00a0also has a Windows Live Education Program for colleges and universities that they can signup for to use the Windows Live Custom Domain System, here&#8217;s a bit about it: Connect your campus like never before!
