Always looking forward to new versions of Windows Live Writer. Maybe they will fix the performance-crippling cache issue!

I really want to be able to IM AIM users via WLM, I thought they were working on getting that in there?

That requires a deal to be made between AOL and Microsoft. Unlikely to happen any time soon.

When the Yahoo and MS deal was announced for interoperability, it took awhile to make it to the public.

Thats what I was thinking. :-(

#6 sharp65 on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:42

It's the same as the RC versions.

#7 gonzo68 on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:46

The RC was really closed to be final, they must have fix the remaining rc bugs

Closed to Final?
WLM were no where near final version quality.

#8.1 gonzo68 on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:02

I'm using wlm9 rc and i did not found many bugs in it so when i say it was closed to be final, i'm telling the truth... Final version was normally schedule to be in february.

The RC version # for Messenger is: 14.0.8050.1202, wonder what the new one is.

#10 bluarash on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:15

Wow...

#11 Kevin. on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:20

It appears to be out right now: http://www.windowslive.com/explore

#12 gonzo68 on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:33

it appears to be out but the installer is still showing same version 14.0.8050.1202

It's the same thing, there are no changes. I downloaded the new installer and it didn't need to update any of the RC installations.

#13.1 gonzo68 on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:44

It can be 2 things, installer was not update yet or in fact rc was good enough to be final

When will they substantially overhaul Windows Live Joke Maker?

#14.1 +Ely on 08 Jan 2009 - 05:13

Have you tried the latest build of Windows Live Movie Maker beta? I consider it far superior to the XP or Vista versions.

#15 Deathray on 08 Jan 2009 - 06:25

Will the final be the RC version retagged, or were things changed/fixed?

so frustrating, this new version of messenger wont take me to the inbox of whatever live id I am using. I've tried everything including unchecking the box which makes it ask for my password again. Anyone else have this?

#16.1 gonzo68 on 08 Jan 2009 - 15:34

In Windows live mail make sure you are connected too and that should fix it

#16.2 YouAgain87 on 08 Jan 2009 - 17:32

I dont use Live Mail but Hotmail directly from the web interface. 8.5 used to take me directly to the inbox of the Live ID I was signed in with when I clicked the Mail button without additional sign ins.

#16.3 C.R.E.A.M. on 08 Jan 2009 - 21:53

i have this problem too. its annoying

#17 leesmithg on 08 Jan 2009 - 10:39

Something I hoped they have fixed with windows live mail is 'multiple processes'.

I have to close the process before using windows live mail if it hasn't been closed before.

Wondering if anyone else encounters this problem?

I run Vista 32 bit HP FYI.

#18 YouAgain87 on 08 Jan 2009 - 20:28

They should've waited till the suggested February date that was going around. There is a fair few bugs found in the RC version which they clearly haven't addressed.
