Windows Live Essentials 'beta' out now!


Recommended Posts

wave 1 and 2 were 9

8 is an earlier version

3 is 14

4 is 15

Umm, no. Epic Fail, how can two waves be 9. :s And how can the next wave be 4 versions ahead. Windows Live Wave 1 was definitely not 9.

...So how do Wave 3 become 14.0... Has to be a reason why the change. :s

The thread title is so misleading. I was going to cry in happiness.

Yeah I don't know why the entire staff just sits around and laughs at everybody else who doesn't have the build... The staff needs to wake up and realize they have a job and fix the title because the OP is too obsessed to do that and wants everybody to see it on the Spy and elsewhere...

No the sooner I get it, the better.

You don't know who ahmz is, do you? :D

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

I'll explain below :)

4 is 15

That's incorrect.

During Windows Live 'Wave 1', Microsoft released the 'Wave 1' version of Messenger which was version 8.0.x and they later updated this 'Wave' with version 8.1.x

The release of the Windows Live 'Wave 2' software included Windows Live Messenger 2008; this was version 8.5.x

Windows Live Essentials 2009, which was the 'Wave 3' software, contained Windows Live Messenger 2009; they bumped this version of Messenger up to 14.x to keep it in-line with other Windows Live software (Windows Live Mail, which was built upon Outlook Express, was version 14.x at the time).

Now - most likely this week - the 'beta' version of Windows Live Messenger 2011 will be released, included with the 'beta' of Windows Live Essentials 2011; this version will be version 15.x

I hope that clears up any confusion :)


Threads merged

Thread title changed to something much less misleading

I believe it actually took their entire server down.

I know (snipped) is on this story like mad. So when the link does come available they will post it faster than ever, and then the server will crash...... again! :no:

On it like mad? All I can see that they've posted is that they've heard the 'beta' build was compiled today, which might make sense seeing as the WLMessenger team have gone out to a disco tonight?

The only result in google, when you search for this build number "15.4.2847.0621" from trustnerd.com is Neowins thread about it

I know, I have google to show the latest news on that build number for twitter/websites/etc. Let's hope it's leaked! :p

Exactly, I don't know what all the hype was about that everybody thought it was some official beta leak...

    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
