The actual Live.com domain name used to be owned by a group of developers building Streaming Media products. This from the homespun weblog back in February 2005:
"The Live.com folks have developed a number of C++ source-code libraries for use in building streaming media applications. They have made some applications developed with these libraries available also - I was very interested in LiveCaster, an application to multicast MP3s on the internet."
Interesting to see where Microsoft goes with this...
