Windows Live Platform allows developers to have a deeper control and offers access to the core Windows Live services and data through open and easily accessible APIs. Developers can build applications and mashups that combine innovation with the power of Windows Live services and social relationships.[1]

At MIX07, Microsoft's Senior Architect Danny Thrope mentioned:[2]

[The Windows Live Platform] today can combine video, photos, contacts, maps, and search into web applications. Users can drop web controls into the web applications with just a few lines of JavaScript and be up and running in a matter of minutes, and they can dive a little deeper to access service APIs directly and define their own UI and process flow. Users have control over what applications can access their private data, and can revoke that access at any time.
