andrew_f Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Writer are the three core desktop products for Windows Live. But we have reason to suspect they?ll all be rebranded to one, large program - called “Windows Live Suite”.More after the break! Found on Digg @ http://shufflestorm.com/?p=30 Seems like all the signs are pointing that way, I just hope they offer them as seperate downloads aswell. Although Mail + Messenger would be usefull, not too sure on Writer.

Nexus- Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The suite is the new name for windows live dashboard (microsoft's google pack, which mysteriously died). Basically the 8.5 we have now is akin to you going to download the google toolbar for IE and now you get google pack which imediatly installs the google pack (invisibly) and then goes to install the toolbar right after that. In this case messenger 8.5 is inside the suite installer. At least thats my take on it and if im correct in this sense then the suite will offer up updates to your programs and offer up new things like toolbar, onecare, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/563587-windows-live-suite-discovered/#findComment-588586681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstorm Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Not saying the concept may not be happening...but who knows if it will be "Windows Live Suite" lol This will suck if true :( I don't want all three! No worries -- I doubt they'd force feed the other clients if you only want Messenger and vice versa...

Admodieus Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 For those of you that installed WLM 8.5, go to the Program Files directory, then Windows Live folder, then the installer folder. You'll see an application called Dashboard but it doesn't launch. Signs of a possible Windows Live dashboard? And if it is, will they please incorporate my XBox Live Friends List to it? Messaging my friends from my desktop would be awesome.

I hope you were joking because it doesnt mean that kind of dashboard. the microsoft version of google's pack was called windows live dashboard and offered up windows live stuff in the same way google's pack offers up google's services.

Admodieus Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You can view your friends list through WLM - you can message through XBox.com, but I still want the Games for Window Live type of dashboard as a program for my desktop. And by dashboard, I know that was the name of Microsoft's google pack; however, I hope they include in it a program that is like a dashboard that ties together all my Live services (including XBox Live).

Barty Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Definitly a Windows Dashboard app coming, inside the Leaked installer, contains a Dashboard.msi as well as normal Msmsgs.msi also, an application that doesnt load!

WelshBluebird Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You can view your friends list through WLM only in a few countries I think, I know its not available in the UK anyway.
