| This week, Windows Live Spaces turned 3 years old. What a great 3 years it has been. Thanks to all of you, we have seen some fantastic growth and success, and we wanted to share some birthday statistics with you.
- Over the past 3 years, we have grown the number of visitors to Spaces from 1 visitor when we launched the Beta version in August 2004 to over 115 million monthly users worldwide
- This month when one of you signed up for Spaces, you created the 100 millionth Windows Live space. This means that during the last 3 years, there have been over 100 million Windows Live spaces created for people to express themselves and share their thoughts, photos, and interests.
- With the latest release, Spaces is now available to people in 55 countries and in 33 different languages. It is amazing to see that over the last 3 years, there have been as many spaces created in Turkey as in Australia, Germany, or Taiwan. Looking back three years, Spaces was only available in 1 country.
As we blow out the candles on our 3rd birthday, we wanted to thank you again for the passion you've shown for Windows Live Spaces. We look forward to even more exciting news over the next year.
- Chris Product Manager, Windows Live Spaces
