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.

    • Debian switches to 64-bit time completely to avoid Y2K38 disaster by Usama Jawad Some of you may remember the Y2K problem, where the world expected airplanes to fall from the sky as soon as we reached the year 2000, primarily because many software applications at that time typically just used the final two digits of each year to store calendar year data, which meant that the year 2000 was indistinguishable from the year 1900. Fortunately, we were able to avoid the 2K problem, thanks to the tireless efforts of many software vendors and engineers. Now, we are a few years away from a similar issue, and it looks like the Linux distro Debian wants to solve that problem right now in its own operating system. Basically, older 32-bit architectures will face the Y2K38 problem in the year 2038. This is because the signed representation of Unix datetime values will overflow the 32-bit space, which would cause bugs in associated software. Debian is a pretty old distro with its first release dating back to 1993, so the maintainers say that a lot of sensitive computing is still happening on 32-bit architecture. Although there are still roughly 13 years to go before we reach 2038, developers want to proactively tackle the problem rather than having to scramble at the last minute like with Y2K, according to The Register. Another name for Y2K38 is the Unix Epochalypse, since it impacts systems that store datetime values in the Unix format within a signed 32-bit space. On January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC, this space will overflow. As such, Debian maintainers will use 64-bit time_t formats even on 32-bit architectures starting with the release of Debian 13 "Trixie". This is not a small change, as maintainers found the use of the time_t variable in random places across 6,429 packages. The maintainers went on to say that: This may be a breaking change for some applications, so it is important to test your program's response to the time_t variable switch by leveraging the Debian wiki. Interestingly, Y2K38 may also impact certain older Windows programs and out-of-support Windows operating systems.
    • I hope they programed its eyes to turn red when it becomes evil, that is an important feature for any AI representation.
    • Microsoft gives Copilot visual appearance with real-time expressions and emotions by Taras Buria Several months ago, during its 50th anniversary event, Microsoft teased a visual upgrade for Copilot (then called "Copilot Avatar") that would give the chatbot a visual character with expressions, reactions, and emotions. Now, users in the US, UK, and Canada can try Copilot Appearance, "a new, visual way to chat." Conversational mode has been available in Copilot for a while, but it lacked any visual cues or non-verbal communications. All users see on their screens is some abstract animation. With Copilot Appearance, Microsoft is improving voice conversations with real-time visual expressions. Sadly, Copilot Appearance is not a Clippy 2.0. In its current form, it is an abstract blob with a face that can morph into different shapes, express emotions, nod in agreement, etc. The concept is similar to what xAI offers with Grok AI companions that cost $300 per month, but Microsoft's approach is much more toned down (and you cannot undress it). On the official Copilot Labs website, Microsoft describes Copilot Appearance as "an experiment to incorporate a more visual, engaging experience into Copilot." Copilot Appearance is rolling out to a limited set of users in just three countries as Microsoft takes a cautious approach to a more personified AI. If you have a lucky ticket, you can try Copilot Appearance by launching Voice Mode (click the microphone button in the composer) and toggling the feature in Voice Mode settings. Microsoft says that the initial release is experimental, and it is working on refining the experience.
    • A number of years ago I purchased a "Renewed" HP laptop. It worked great until it didn't work at all. Both of my W11 devices are HP AIO desktops. Have had them since before W11. They upgraded fine and have worked great ever since. My printer is also an HP inkjet. I have had it several years and have never paid for ink.
