Windows Live Hotmail Wave 3 Screenshots Surface


Recommended Posts

I definitely prefer the old Live hotmail. This one seems so stylish but I do like the fact that it is much faster. What is with the space above the header, for me there is no add which i suppose is meant to be their.

I honestly don't particularly like it, and there doesn't seem to be any new features.

It does seem so.. HTMLish, and lacking the graphical interface part, but one of the things I do like about it is, it is very fast on loading, and switching folders, and displaying emails. So far the only difference I have really noticed

In the end, users really care about performance, so that's really a good improvement.

Mine on http://by136w.bay136.mail.live.com also got updated, but still no automatic mail checking apparently.... :(

I'm also on 136, but there appears to be no change here (Firefox 3.x).

Just got updated today! bay139

And lol at the fine print:

2We've designed Windows Live Hotmail storage to grow with you, but at a reasonable pace. That means you should have plenty of storage unless you suddenly want to store the planet Jupiter on Hotmail, in which case we'll send you a nice e-mail asking you to please not try to store planets on Windows Live Hotmail (although gradual storage of moons and asteroids is ok).

:laugh:

Just out of curiosity: why do people who do use WLHotmail prefer it over GMail or Yahoo, and if so, do you pay to get the banners removed? I wonder, because I really like the speed improvements (on par with Gmail now) and the drag-and-drop is a definite plus over Gmail.

I like it due to its compatibility with Windows and Windows Live Messenger.

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
