Comic Book Guy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 That means nothing, anyone can put that on a web site, not a good idea. I think what Quadwave is hoping to do is to get MS to buy it from them so they've made it look like a product from MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Book Guy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would counter-suggest they are simply piggybacking off the marketing, trying to fool end users. That could also be the case, they are using an API to connect to the Live service so it can populate some of your info to your profile on there.

carmatic Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 im guessing that Quadwave is a contractor of microsoft or something...like maybe the graphics and the technology are from Microsoft, but Quadwave handles the content and the hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadwave Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hello Everyone! We noticed many people having doubts and/or queries about the new initiative Microsoft® has taken. Here are the answers for FAQs: 1. Windowsliveplanet.com and WLplanet.com are the SAME websites (hmm, well - WLPlanet was used as a development platform initially, before we got the domain we wanted) 2. The entire service is offered by Microsoft India; and Quadwave is a technology partner of Microsoft. We are involved in development/implementation. Please visit http://www.windowsliveplanet.com/aboutus.aspx for details. 3. Since the site uses Live.com platform, you'll see that you have to login on Live.com authentication page rather than our own! Hence, be assured that none of your information is 'stolen'. 4. Whatever user info is accumulated, it is primarily kept with Microsoft and no one else (including we as a development partners) has access to ANY of the information. 5. About the comments on the applications, thanks for the appreciation! :D 6. About Quadwave, we are a software solutions and services company - we cater to customers like Microsoft, Adobe Inc, Thomson Reuters, Sony Entertainment Television, Rediff.com, Indiatimes.com among others. (Thanks, Comic Book Guy - to point out the gaps on our websites - we were busy helping our customers all this while ;) ) Any questions are welcome! Thanks!
