They do "claim" a lot of customers, MS being one of them, but other than the scrolling banner on their site there is nothing that suggests they have any affiliation with MS except by using their tools & tech.

I would counter-suggest they are simply piggybacking off the marketing, trying to fool end users.

That could also be the case, they are using an API to connect to the Live service so it can populate some of your info to your profile on there.

stil you have any doubt. Let me know

Hello Everyone!

We noticed many people having doubts and/or queries about the new initiative Microsoft® has taken.

Here are the answers for FAQs:

1. Windowsliveplanet.com and WLplanet.com are the SAME websites (hmm, well - WLPlanet was used as a development platform initially, before we got the domain we wanted)

2. The entire service is offered by Microsoft India; and Quadwave is a technology partner of Microsoft. We are involved in development/implementation. Please visit http://www.windowsliveplanet.com/aboutus.aspx for details.

3. Since the site uses Live.com platform, you'll see that you have to login on Live.com authentication page rather than our own! Hence, be assured that none of your information is 'stolen'.

4. Whatever user info is accumulated, it is primarily kept with Microsoft and no one else (including we as a development partners) has access to ANY of the information.

5. About the comments on the applications, thanks for the appreciation! :D

6. About Quadwave, we are a software solutions and services company - we cater to customers like Microsoft, Adobe Inc, Thomson Reuters, Sony Entertainment Television, Rediff.com, Indiatimes.com among others. (Thanks, Comic Book Guy - to point out the gaps on our websites - we were busy helping our customers all this while ;) )

Any questions are welcome!

Thanks!

    • 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.
    • On my music making (non internet) PC Sony Acid Pro 7.0 Adobe Audition 2015 Korg Legacy Collection Windows 7 SP1
    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
