Microsoft is working to take down those Screenshots

no thier not...

I thought Chris from LiveSide is working for Microsoft? :huh:

lol nope :p LiveSide.net is not affiliated with Microsoft

this would make the product better: tabbed convos, no ads, 3 way video convos (+fullscreen) and all the other ideas suggested by users on connect.microsoft.com

i agree they would, but you never know, some of them might be on the way :D

I belive that those SS are fakes... Actually in mess.be was published that it was a fake maded for april's fools...

no mess.be posted that build .614 that was floating around on the internet was a skin made by someone. The skin was based on the screenshots posted on liveside :)

Thats the dumbest excuse I have ever heard. Why can they send 1000's of people a beta of Vista weighing at >2GB at over ~1MB/sec each, how much bandwidth could a 3 way convo really use 30-40KB/sec up/down? Also, why can't they just bypass the microsoft servers and do direct connection to each user?

You know what I realised the other day? Build 614 that was released (The program...NOT the official screenshots) can be looked at as: 2006, the first of the fourth month (April). 06/01/04 OR 614.

I found it kinda cool.

But anonymousjon is right. The screenshots are NOT fake. The released build is. That goes for you :No-Frost:. You posted that it was fake in my thread when it was confirmed real on many occasions.

Again. Released Program that you see people using: FAKE but based on FACT. Pictures on LiveSide.net about the future of WLM: FACT.

EDIT: Build 683 Preview!!!!

It looks nice :D

how do you think file transfer works ? :sleep: ...video stream works beautifully via p2p...I use both skype(win) and ichat ...server load is not the reason for sure. I am not sure if I can call WLM people as unaware of market, but its their focus on trivial features, that bugs me the most. (think, skins for WLMail before making sure it works across all browsers for new UI).

Also if you save your chats all your contacts e-mails are in your received files folder under history, the only thing missing is the @domain part and i'm sure most of them are hotmail ;)

thats another thing that could do with updating. WLM/MSN chat logs are rubbish. Messenger Plus Live ftw

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
