The new version that can be found at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/, does support Blogger Beta, using a workaround from http://jcheng.wordpress.com/2006/09/28/blogger-beta-workaround. Though livewriter says it can't retrieve my template. So you can use LiveWriter to post, but it's not as 'WYSYWYG' as it is, when you use say, Wordpress. This is more a Google fault i'd say, for not just using a standard method to allow posting and retrieving posts and categories.
Windows live writer is very nice though, much better than the standard blogger edit window. If you're posting from windows to your blog, you should definately check it out. Especially love the easy way you can now add technorati tags, something that cant be done through the blogger interface, unless you type out the technorati tags, which is a cumbersome process.
Update: A new build (145) now offers correct Blogger Beta support , it even retrieves the correct template.
