But relying on a product which doesn’t receive updates and also needs to be online most of the time is not the safest thing to do. So if you can’t maintain a product, why not make it open source and let the community contribute towards its development. And there’s a chance that this could happen, at least according to a recent tweet from Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman who said the following reply to one of his followers: Of course, he didn’t give any hints as to when this could happen, but the person who asked was curious if there’s a ‘Windows 10 answer for Live Writer.‘ If you have been using Windows Live Writer, then you probably have become attached to the tool, and if Microsoft would make it open-source by the time it release Windows 10, it will get a few more ‘yays’ from the open source community. But according to a recent report from ArsTechnica, it seems that ‘the process is not as complete as Hanselman’s tweet led us to believe, and there’s still a chance that this might not happen‘. As a person who has used the tool for many years, I really hope that Microsoft won’t ditch its product but will choose to improve it.
