Yup. It IS Windows Live Spaces, NOT a program ^^ :laugh:

Just confirmed with full screenshot posted over at The Space Craft blog.

In my opinion, it looks cool and way better than MSN Spaces as it is now.

hehe as if i would ever be wrong :D :shiftyninja:

it is much better then MSN Spaces can't wait to start using it :p

Spaces%20icon.gif The latest from the blog of record for Spaces announces that Windows Live Spaces is coming soon. Included in the new release will be Friends Module, the new social networking tool, and Friends Explorer, a way to create new friendships. Friends Explorer will be integrated with and accessible through the recently released Windows Live Messenger.

In a bit of news, while there will be banner ads, you will be able to switch them off, apparently by subscribing to Hotmail Plus. The Title and tagline of your Spaces will no longer be limited to the header, and you will be able to place it ?wherever you want in your space?.

Other new features include breadcrumbing, a new navigation module, and inclusion of Windows Live Gadgets.

The new release will require one more URL change, presumably to the spaces.live.com domain.

*yay*... Suddenly, everything looks like Windows Live Messenger

Isn't that what Microsoft is suppose to be doing in the first place... :shifty: :whistle: :laugh: ?

Spaces%20icon.gifThanks to Darren Straight who found this post by Satoshi, and a new web site ? discoverspaces.live.com. The annotated screenshot provides a few clues about the new version, in addition to a cleaner, Windows Live looking UI. Looks like you can comment and tag photos, initiate a Windows Live Messenger session from within Spaces, see Msgr online status, and have more control over the title position. Can?t wait to see more.

so let me get this straight, all existing MSN space accounts will be migrated over? I won't need to worry about Microsoft cancelling all existing accounts? Microsoft won't be creating new live space accounts like what they're doing with their new @live.com domains?

Yes for the first two. Not sure what you sure what your talking about for the third quesiton. Why would they create another live space account when you already have an msn spaces account?

Your msn spaces account will be your live spaces account.

^ I think Sgt_Strider was asking in his third question whether microsoft would have two different sets of spaces or not, such as myspacename.spaces.live.com and myspacename.spaces.msn.com . My guess would be that microsoft would be migrating all MSN Spaces to Windows Live Spaces. So doesn't matter which address you enter (myspace.spaces.live.com OR myspace.spaces.msn.com) will get you to the same space ^^ It's basically an address change....again =P

I think that's the gist of it in a way :laugh: .

doesnt look like theyve brought back the thumbnail view for pics,I miss that in MSN Spaces,dunno why they got rid of it,it was so useful :(

Yeh I liked that too, photo albums are even worse since the latest update as it keeps showing pictures you've already seen, hope it's fixed in WL Spaces.

  • 3 weeks later...

Any updates on this? I'm looking forward to the Live Spaces update - if the release date is supposedly tomorrow, I'll be pulling another all-nighter. Hehehe... :cool:

Unfortunately M$ isn't the greatest with dates. As far as I know, they haven't met one yet... *sigh* :pinch:

But I will keep away from that because there is a banner ad on your

page I dont want a banner ad i will use it if they are text ads but

banner ads destroy the beauty of the entire page,eventhoug i have ad blocking

programs,i dont want my visitors to see an ad that was not put there by me.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
