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 :)

3 is 14

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...

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
