You're talking about mixing proprietary software with an external server (big gaping security risk) using open source software (not designed to work with the system). That's a really bad, bad idea.

I realise that this wouldn't be directly within the interests of Microsoft's marketing strategy inasmuch as it would give an alternative to promotion of Microsoft's blogging service; however I use Microsoft Live Writer quite comfortably in conjunction with my WordPress blog on my private server space; so I don't quite understand their reticence to provide the same sort of experience with this software. Perhaps the Microsoft Office Live team would shed some light on this issue?
