Microsoft is preparing to go live with their new user-generated video service and is ramping up to take on YouTube in the near future. Codenamed Warhol, the service's final name is said to be "Soapbox." It will debut on MSN instead of Windows Live, as many have expected, but will nevertheless be tightly integrated with Microsoft's MySpace competitor, Windows Live Spaces. The details of the new service are rumored to be very similar to those of YouTube, with a 100 MB upload limit from "almost any format," tags and categories, RSS feeds, integration of a Windows Live Spaces account, and the ability to embed videos on a web page or blog.

Microsoft is very Live focused, but it's playing catch-up. Whatever they feed the Google engineers appear to work, since MS's web 2.0 stuff just isn't that interesting. It's not just Google. I hardly see this trump Youtube, since none of the other services, not even MySpace, come close to it.
