Not Digging Windows Live Writer

[+/-] show/hide text
I know it's just a test beta, but I have a sneaking suspicion Windows Live Writer won't come through for me (unless it gets built-in inking).

First and foremost, it's not connecting to my ftp site. Sounds like a fixable issue, but my ftp site also does not work with FrontPage. Pretty safe bet the guys at Windows Live didn't build their ftp system from scratch.

Second, where's the TIP? Works in the HTML text editing mode, but not the WYSIWYG mode. Again, probably fixable, but why doesn't a Windows Live program developed for Windows have full TIP support? Works fine with ritePen though. C'mon Windows Live guys, a little embarrassing, isn't it?
