Windows Live Writer is one of the most used desktop client for posting articles on the blogs used by bloggers all around the globe.
WLW is a part of Windows Live Essential,Writing blogs from WLW is very time saving, like for me if I had to write a post then first I will open my WordPress login page and login and then move to New Post page and then write there, but in WLW I just need to open it and start writing and when I am done just hit Publish buttons, not only this insertion of Pictures, Videos fro YouTube or computer is very easy which is not there in WordPress Web Publication.
