Bay120 has been updated with the Windows Live Hotmail branding here.

I'm guessing Microsoft will allow users to choose between @hotmail and @live (therefore giving a bigger choice of email addresses). I'm hoping so anyway - otherwise I'll be one of the few with an @live address.

I preferred the fonts in all the previous milestones, not sure why they changed them
Yea me too. The new fonts aren't bad, but the previous one's looked better.

Yeah same here. I thought the font thing was only happening to me because I'm on Mac.

I agree about the name change! It is awful! I loved "Windows Live Mail" because it went well with the names "Live Messenger" and "Live Mail desktop" You don't see them having "Live Hotmessenger" and "Live Hotmail desktop" do you? No. That would be even more horrible anyway, but I hate inconsistencies!

What everyone needs to do is go to: http://feedback.live.com and lick on "Windows Live Mail" and tell them that the name change is horrible and then they will hopefully change it back.

I think, secretly, they may only be calling it "Windows Live Hotmail" temporarly for about a year to try and get the old Hotmail users transitioned much mre comforatably and so they are not confused. Then in about a year or so, hopefully they will change it back to "Windows Live Mail". Does anyone else think they might be doing this?

About the font: I quite like it. It will take a lil bit of time to get used to it, but I love the size of the message subjects, etc.

I also love the new Windows Live Messenger intergration where you can click on the new buddy icons in an e-mail message to open a WLMessenger window and talk! You can also see if they are online and offline - This is brillaint and I am one of the ones who suggested it! :-D Let's hope they can extend that to include it in the contact list in the next version!

Also LiveSide has a new article up guys: http://www.liveside.net/blogs/main/archive...mail-going.aspx

In that it says WLH have officially announced that it will be released within "a few weeks"!!!!!!!!! Fan-tastic news! Finally!

Anyway just to confirm to you all, bays 105 and 116 have been updated today!

/me clicks on feedback.live.com and submits feedback on name....

"I don't like Hotmail. Get rid of that name! Windows Live Hotmail thumbs down! Ewww! You trying to help Frank *someone i know who is olllddd!* with his old mouth, cough hotmail cough microsoft vista cough msn cough cough! Seems like it! Ewww! I'm a fanboy, what happened?! Don't you love me anymore?"

u think they will change name back????? :yes:

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
