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!

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
