I just did a Google search for "Windows Live Essentials 2011" and the download came up right away. Downloading now, hopefully it's the real thing.

The one that circulated on the internet is dodgy at best, and can actually bork Windows Live altogether - the uninstaller doesn't work. I'd reccomend against trying it.

Hmm... Even if this is a good build that works... It's not the beta build. As if this guy was correct. The beta will be 15.4.xxxx. And this is 15.3.2688.420 supposedly.

It's good and it works, but not for us. :p We all tried back then.

Can anyone check whether it's possible to do a one-way webcam conversation in the new build of Windows Live Messenger?

It was taken out a build or two ago, which is really frustrating.

Is it really 10.15.4? Because I thought this was only Wave 4, and Wave 3 was just 9.0, and Wave 2 was 8.5, and Wave 1 was 8.0. How could they jump from 9.0 to 15.5 already? :|

I don't really know. But Wave 3/2009 was 14.0.xxxx

Yeah, Wave 3 was 14.whatever so 15.whatever seems right for Wave 4.

Also misleading title, it isn't actually out (As in, publicly available) but there are people who have it.

This makes absolutely no sense... I remember Windows Live Messenger 8.5 coming out refreshing the look and making it Windows Live Wave 2, with the Windows Vista look. Then I remember the excitement with what was going to be Windows Live Messenger 9.0, which was Wave 3's version. Confused! :s

It is publically available... just waiting for MS to put the links up.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
