I saw this earlier and it really is fantastic! I've just edited it all and made it very personalied! Now all that needs added is more dynamic themes, more static themes and the ability to change the colour of the default Windows Live blue theme.

I'd love to get all my Facebook contacts on here, however, a lot of them aren't close friends who I'd probably speak to on Windows Live so it would seem odd adding them...

*Sigh* It don't even give me the option to change my city to get weather...

I can't type in the name, nor click search.

This is by-browser locked. It wasn't working in Safari nor in FX 3.1B, I changed the Safari UserAgent to IE7 or 6 and it wasn't working, but then, FX 2 Win actually worked.... wrf?

I haven't got any of the problems you are referring to. I am able to search for my locations (Sheffield) and change it to this when clicking on "Customise" on the new Windows Live Home :)

It is working for me in Firefox 3.0.4 on Windows Vista, however, I haven't been able to try it in Firefox 3.1b.

I have tried it in Safari and it works perfectly.

It works in Opera; however, some of the UI elements are a bit messed up (as is one link positioning on my personal website in Opera only, hmm maybe their rendering engine isn't very good after all...?).

It's beautiful isn't it :p?

Absolutely :p

It still needs more static themes, more dynamic themes and an option to change the colour of the default blue flair theme, though.

I also have some other gripes. For example, I cannot seem to find out how to change the name of the default "Home page photos" album? :s I am one who likes consistency and would like to rename it with either capitals on all the first letters of the words in the name or to something like "Windows Live Home Photos".

Does anybody know if this is possible?

Also, Windows Live People needs updating badly to incorporate the ability to view contact's profiles and also see their email address next to their name without clicking on them.

There's no way of changing it unfortunately. I agree that there needs to me more themes, I think those will come once everything is smooth and the kinks are worked out. The team started with enough to get by, but there are more comming :).

My Spaces still doesn't work for me. I get "Page Not Found" error.

That's because the entire Windows Live network is getting slammed right now :p. I can't even add RSS feeds to my WLSpace or save changes at the moment because the service is to busy. Wait it out my friend :).

I'm having a weird problem.

If I go to Home.Live in IE7, signed in, the page trys to auto install Windows Live Messenger or something, already installed too (WLM 9 beta), and totally locks up the browser until I click cancel on the install thing.

The install thing says it can't continue until I close any running instance of Home.Live too, but I can't close IE until I cancel and close the installer thing.

So uh, not working for me.

Something that is also bugging me is why have spaces when you already have a profile page ?

The spaces section doesn't look any different to what it was.

If anyone wants to add me i am marleyatlive.com i need some more friends on mine that actually use it :D

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
