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 :)

MSN Today is an important feature :pinch: why don't they add some important feature like high-res/multi-party video conference ?

because their servers are overloaded :rolleyes:

its not like ur video stream picks a p2p way...oh thatd be cool...

why do u think were i able to run my webcam at 20 fps in full resolution back when that feature got beta tested, but nowadays get like... 3 fps? :D

-fm

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).

Wasn't this posted on Mess.be earlier this week? :/

Since when is changing one window to another because of a name change a feature? o.O

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 Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
