Updated: Windows Live Essentials RC RELEASED


Recommended Posts

Some of it works, but it doesn't work 100% so it's best to un-install so it doesn't create problems :).

ye but when u run in vista or xp mode doesnt integrate with 7 jump list just fixed where when u run normal has that window but everything is integrated no icon in tray status changes in bar and jumplist is fully functional

Works fine for me with the Jump Lists and Vista Mode.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the information. I wonder if Patchou will release a version that's fully compatible with the RC.

Has Windows Live Movie Maker's feaure set outgrown regular Movie Maker's yet?

I sure hope so. The beta seemed pretty limited feature wise.

ye jumplist still work but with vista mode dont see the status inside of the super bar or for example in vista mode right click and look at the jumplist when you are signed in says "sign in", but without compatibility mode every thing is integrated in the super bar. when you are signed in and you right click you will see the jumplist change to signed out etc pretty cool

Can you install it over your beta or should I un-install everything first ?

The installer will automatically install the updates, but there's no harm in uninstalling first :).

Is it RC o final? :huh:

RC :). Final due out in January.

As far as I know he has no plans on updating to this RC build seeing as though the final build is going to be released in January.

This is me probably being nitpicky, but I think they should of given you the option to show the display pictures either on the left or right side of the conversation window. I'll probably get used to them being on the left side eventually, but I'm just so used to seeing them on the right side.

It's possible to be moved back to the right side via a Messenger Plus! Live skin. A skinner was able to do it and released a very simplistic skin a month ago, click here for more information.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it's only compatible with an earlier build it seems.

In Windows 7, what's the point of having 2 entries for Live Messenger in the superbar? Is there a way to disable the one that just shows your avatar as a thumbnail?

You'll have to ask the Messenger team about that. My understanding is that they add the user tile window basically as a replacement for the tray icon. However, remember that we haven't even released the beta of Win7 yet and this is very early integration, so of course this design could change, especially if you give the Messenger guys lots of feedback about what you like and don't like :)

Perhaps the Messenger blog would be a good place to do that? http://messengersays.spaces.live.com/blog/

For some reason, they changed the "New Alert" sound back to the original one, but all the other sounds are new.

Edit: They still kept the sounds too quiet. I wish they would fix that. Hopefully in the final build.

On my way to download it. The GUI is Perfect as Live Installer says that I found a quite similar bug that Live Installer asked me to shut down a software that is not relevant to Windows Live Product. Sound's a big problem might turn off the program of .Net Framework 2 (Platform for .Net Framework 2)

    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
