Windows Live Mail actually looks quite good. Damn how is it over Outlook Express and Thunderbird (for usability, performance and organization using POP3 as well as Hotmail?) Anyone can give a short opinion/review?

did u guys do the fix prior installing the new beta? u have to delete windowsliveinstaller&WLinstaller folders locate in C:\ProgramData (u have to enable hidden folders) that location is for those who use vista, for XP u have to look in documents&settings/your username/applicationdata and in documents&settings/all users/applicationdata (remember enable hiden folders)

Windows Live Mail is actually pretty nice, it's a lot better than Windows Mail (imo). I've actually set it as my default mail client over Outlook, we'll see how it goes. The layout is nice, integration with messenger is nice. As is the integration with blogs (although I won't use that aspect). Pretty nice.

I agree. WLM is what Windows Mail should've been.

The UI has taken a great step forward compared to how it looked like last year.

The remaining fit and finish nitpicking comes from this. Vista icons in the interface are more than welcome, but not when mixed with bits from the past:

WLM is ok, does the job and it'll be my default client. There is one thing that annoys me (petty I know) but the shadow on the window without the frame on Vista has a crappy shadow. Should've implemented a proper shadow.

Agreed. Don't know why MS didn't get rid of those XP-style shadows for Vista's menus.

Under Vista, the top panel should have the same Aero Glass treatment as WLM. If you look closely, WLM's toolbar has Aero Glass when the menu is hidden.

The default instant messenger headings look like ass, IMO. If you use the latest Mess Patch, they can look like this:

Two questions.

I notice there are always three files in the folder that my installaion .exe was in when I installed MSN 8.5:

- lcapi0.log

- MsnMsgr.text

- Transport0.log

I have tried to use HiJackTool to delete it on reboot. But when I do that, MSN will reconfigure itself and the three files appears again.

Second question, how to remove the Sharing Folder? I used

regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\fsshext.8.5.1235.0517.dll"

but it won't work.

Please advice.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
