Windows Live Essentials 2011 RC to touch down September 10(GMT+8)


Recommended Posts

According to Taiwan Microsoft, Windows Live Essentials 2011 RC will be a public milestone release, and the bits will touch down for all of us to enjoy come September 10th. (GMT+8)

This source has pointed out a few changes made in recent builds to us which hint that the RC — and following that milestone, the RTM — are very close:

1. Windows Live Mesh branding has been present in internal builds for 2 weeks, essentially “replacing” Live Sync branding; and interesting article outlining this change and the history of Mesh can be found on LiveSide.

2. The Windows Live Essentials 2011 logo is now in the installer, and the installer has an overall updated UI.

3. Refresh button added to the social stream.

4. ‘BETA’ word removed from the software, replaced with ’2011′. So the titlebar of Windows Live Messenger, for example, reads ‘Windows Live Messenger 2011′.

5. It is unknown what build Microsoft have selected for the RC, but 15.4.3119.0902 is the latest internal build being seeded out to early adopters.

6. Those who have used recent builds claim drastic improvements in performance. Also, those installing these recent, pre-RC builds are not required to restart their machines.

For some reasons delay to Sep-20 10:30 PDT

Seems quite nice. I wish they added timeline mode to WLMM, it'd make it quite nice. Also, they should get rid of some of the bloat from Live Messenger, I mean, there's lots of adverts, 'Windows Live Today' is a little pointless when you've got the likes of Neowin, and all the web stuff seems to be powered by IE8, at least this should be better when IE9 is released. Also, they should make Windows Live Messenger minimize to the taskbar and not onto the Superbar as an icon - It's a waste of space having the icon on the superbar.

Oh that's good :) With this being US time it will likely be around 7pm for me, thank god it's a weekend... The main features I am hoping from this build are volume controls back in Video calls (They said it's considered), cleaned up and better settings social view (Got said on support forum to be in the next build), 3gp support in Live Movie Maker... I hope and just even faster performance... Then I'd say a RTM hiting about September 31st / Early October.

No specific time is given and GMT+8 is not US time. :p

But it usually ends up in US time. Like for the Refresh it was like 10am Redmond / California whatever time ending up at around 6pm for me.

But according to our Russian friend from MS - today was going to be the release date

-------

We have received a tip from anonymous Russian sources close to Microsoft informing us that the Windows Live Essentials 2011 RC will be a public milestone release, and the bits will touch down for all of us to enjoy come September 9th.

this is from the same source that claimed today is the release.

will the RC build work on XP as all the beta's have been for Windows 7 only

Tried the recent beta on a XP build and it said 'not a valid win32 application'

No I don't think so...

WLE 2011 will only be available for Windows Vista and above.

it has been known for awhile that WLE 2011 wont be available for XP, it is one of the ways Microsoft is trying to ween out the old OS

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • 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?
