Windows Live Essentials 'beta' out now!

[:: Lyon ::]

I'll just wait.. I can stand waiting for a few more days on this one :)

That installer will be set to only download from a certain IP I would imagine, internal MS IP or selected tester ?

MS Internal yes.

And you got the fake build.. cause

15.3.2804.607 is the real one (currently)

15.3.2804.607 is as real as 15.3.2688.420, both are digitally signed by microsoft, it even installs okay but messenger won't sign in.

There's no offline installer for 15.3.2804.607 yet, so can't say.

I'm not saying it isn't the current stable build, just saying it ISN'T FAKE, as you claim.

long time reader, first time poster here. hello.

i've been f5ing the essential threads for a week now.

is it only me that noticed that babysexydoll09 registered a week ago and he's at 100 posts now, mostly fake speculations about it being released. he has exactly 5 threads in windows live forums, all of them saying that it's released and none of them turned out to be true. and i've yet to see any flame towards him. isn't this kind of behavior that is against the rules?

I agree, looks suspicious to me.

[babysexydoll09]

Maybe cause I have some inside sources :)

I dont think its against the rules per-se, but it IS hella annoying seeing all these threads saying its out.

Can a mod please merge them all for us?

Agreed! He's just doing a guessing game from an internal source, who also may or may not know what they are talking about.

Oh my God! How much do we have to wait? Waiting is annoying me now!

So this is still on a a beta and not as a final??

[nycmattw]

correct. The final would probably be in July/august

[Xerxes]

EDIT: Nevermind :p I didn't read the topic properly, has MS even said their will be a public beta or are we just assuming based on the past?

Off course, we are waiting for Windows Live Essentials BETA, not Final.

I dunno about anyone else but doesn't it's name give some sort of clue? Windows Live Essentials 2011? :whistle: that is my 2 cents.

Haha...I think it is just part of the name, it does not mean it will release in 2011. If Microsoft releases it in 2011, I will be damn!

Well they tend to release software on the year that in it's title (Win98 released in 1998, Win2000 in 2000 fast forward to now, Office 2010 was released in 2010) so it's looking pretty likely to be released in final form by 2011. I deleted my orginal post though because it was actually not relevant to the topic, I misread it as when is the final release...not public beta, opps!!

[tennoguchi]

fingers crossed this gets released soon, my dad is aching for live photo gallery update

[tanjiajun_34]

Arghhhh. I scare to install any Windows Live Messenger before the beta is released. Later i had to reformat again..... Man I thought is done on 15 June...
