Okay, I'm confused. I was wondering if somebody with 'insider knowledge' may be able to help me.

At the Life Without Walls event, last week, Microsoft confirmed that the 'release candidate' versions of the Windows Live Essentials applications would be released this week.

Here is the article on this: http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/...e-revealed.aspx

I have been looking forward to these updates because of the multiple bug fixes and the refinements in features and user interface, yet they are still no-where to be found :/

Does anybody know why and when they may now be released? Maybe they have had problems which have only happened this week?

Does anybody know? Maybe somebody who works for Microsoft, such as Brandon Live? Or a beta tester like RebelSean?

I would be very grateful, because I have been looking forward to these updates and am very disappointed :/

I don't really think it should be a Beta. An alpha banner would be more appropriate.

You might be surprised with how much they've progressed in this new beta which is to be released very soon :)

Then again, you might not be :D It depends what you are expecting out of Movie Maker. I agree that the first beta was terrible.

How would you know how well they've be doing behind the scenes, what have I missed.

There was a screenshot posted somewhere, maybe on LiveSide, which showed more features and that the features were similar or better than that of Vista's Windows Movie Maker, but I can't remember where exactly or how far it had actually progressed in terms of features, it just looked much better :p

Also they've had 3 or 4 more months developing it, it's bound to have better features than the current beta.

There's been 9 internal RC builds since the beta has started. That's not including the beta builds :).

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.

      Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
