Chapter 1 Pre-Flight Checklist:What to Do Before YouGet Your Windows Phone
FIgure 1-19: Selectively remove users and Windows Live
services updates from this page.
TIP There is a lot more going on with Windows Live, of course. And while it
doesn’t have all that much to do with Windows Phone, I do recommend that you
download and install Windows Live Essentials (
get.live.com), a set of useful
and fun Windows applications that includes, among other things, the Windows
Live Messenger application that also provides access to your Messenger social
feed. It’s shown in Figure 1-20.
Music Lovers: Connecting to Zune Social
While setting up a Windows Live ID and connecting it to the third-party online ser-
vices you care about is absolutely critical for anyone interested in Windows Phone,
there are a few Microsoft online services that are particularly interesting and rel-
evant as well. And since these online services are tied to your Windows Live ID, and
can be used to populate your phone with content, it makes sense to get them set up
now, before you get your Windows Phone.
