2) No need to use an image wizard. You can adjust the image directly in the post with a much easier interface. Also WLW will upload the image (if need be) to an alternate server.
3) Selecting and adding tags is easier and categories too. As in, I can add a category to the blog from within WLW very quickly by just entering the intended name and hitting the +
4) Themes. WLW downloads my blogs theme and shows me a representation of that theme so I can see width wise, color wise, layout wise what my post will look like without even having to hit the preview tab.
5) Switching between the source view, edit view and preview is just switching tabs.
6) Spell checking is done while you type like it is in other Microsoft products.

Those are off the top of my head.
thx for that

seems 2, 4, & 6 are where it excels. not sure what 'auto-linking' is but maybe there too. if its what i think it is, i believe i made that work in BD with "frequently used phrases"...

but i digress. back to OT.... i thought about going linux but a) i'm on a laptop and b) i'm dead without my CS3 programs and then some. if using virtual box on linux, are you basically just defeating the purpose?
