according to the latest rumors it will be the only movie maker in the future ;) Software as a service kind of thing, and microsoft is aiming high with windows live

I really want to see this thing fly, hopefully Messenger 9 will be hella fly like digsby is.

Hmmm, playing with it, I actually like it a lot and think its a big upgrade over messenger 8. The windows actually go to the top of the screen now, I HATED the way it always kept a space between the top of the window and the top of the screen, the animation effects are smooth and really nice, the photo sharing feature is kinda cool, love the little toggles that only appear on mouseover to slide in n out the display pics n top toolbar in convo windows.

I think this looks and works wayyy better on Vista.

I really like the calendar integration in Mail, been waiting for that ever since "live mail desktop" came out lol,

I do like the new features on Messenger, its easy to hide the toolbar at the top in convo windows, the favourites and groups idea is pretty kl and handy. The only problem i have with it is that it jsut feels a little "big" for my liking, hard to explain really, just seems to take up more of the screenm wen it probably isnt lol, will get used to it though.

I will defo like it more when A-Patch is released and msgr+ is released for it, which will probs be in a few months lol

Iv always loved live Photo Gallery, and one of my fav features of the new one is that u can now see what its actually doing, before hand wen u checked the processor usage of it, it used to be pretty high, as it was creating the database with thumbnails etc, but now bottom left of the window tells u how many "updates are left" Gona try out the facerecognition thing in a min with the "people tags" in my messenger account

This version looks great. But can anyone tell me what the weight of the software is? Is it more MB RAM than WLM 8.5 or less?

My 8.5 WLM is 40mb Memory Usage, 49mb Virtual memory usage at current time

Just wondering if its more efficiant or not :)

Any other screenies would be awesome! Thanks for the shout out

I quite like the look of Messenger - it's much better than 8.5, which was bad enough to make me go back to 8.1. It's a pity Messenger Plus! doesn't work yet, otherwise I would switch right away.

But is it just me or does Messenger still not have a high-resolution icon? The Wave 3 Installer doesn't seem to have one either. I realise this is still a beta, but that's just inexcusable...

Does somebody else have the problem, that when you click the 'Open Inbox button' at the main screen it opens firefox and displays msn.com? It's the same when I click the pop-ups when I have a new e-mail..

I know it's because firefox is my default browser, because when I put IE as default, the problem is gone. Only I don't want IE as default :p Is there some solution to this?

It's a beta version. More problems will surface. The best thing is to report them if you're a beta tester. If not you just need to be patient and wait for updates or the final product.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
