Fish Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Both installers are getting stuck at 49/50% :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/26/#findComment-592810292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 EDIT: Just realised. That when using the social box. It updates the Little Message under your main name for others using Live 2010. Another thing is that it shows only your Name for the main name bit. Nothing else. Like you could before... And Facebook update is not working :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/26/#findComment-592810300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Installed. Loving the ribbon interface on WLMail. The new default view for WLMessenger sucks ass so bad. Thank god for compact view. Edit* Is A-Patch updated yet?

Evolution Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Is there a way to have conservations group per subject and person instead of just per subject i.e. it's grouping two separate messages between two people.

LightShadow Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Dunno, will look. Another bug/feature. In Compact (Old View) it does not let you use social. It looks more like 14.0. And use's them widget button things. In the leaked Milestone 2 build you could use social in Compact :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/26/#findComment-592810324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I knew it was gonna be buggy but I didn't expect it to visually be this horrible looking. The status change bug alone makes me wanna uninstall this P.O.S. in addition to the inability to use a nickname. =| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/26/#findComment-592810330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 24, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted June 24, 2010 things keep going temporarily unavailable, it's kind of annoying i guess they're slowly updating everything now on the live site bit by bit Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/26/#findComment-592810338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This is the list of bugs/bad things so far: *Status Box does not update Facebook *The Main/Nickname feature you use now only displays your Full Name (And it shows what ever you used last to people using Wave 3) *When you use the Status Box. It just updates the message under your name. *On M2 you could switch to Have Social in the corner and Contacts big. But not anymore * M2 let you use Social/Contacts on Compact view but now it is completely like Wave 3 Hoping for an update/beta 2.

Pharos Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Damn, I didn't think it would be this buggy :wacko:. Ended up uninstalling it. I know it's beta, but this shouldn't be released to the public IMO. It's simply not ready for that yet.

I know it's beta, but this shouldn't be released to the public IMO. It's simply not ready for that yet. I agree! It's way too buggy to be of beta quality... this is Alpha quality software. Why do they even have the Ad in messenger still? they really need to remove it.. its just pointless :\ So true, the mac version of messenger is ad free, but Microsoft can't seem to be satisfied with the amount of ads in the windows version and keep adding more! :pinch: Thank God for A-Patch! I wish the A-Patch developer(s) the best of luck in ridding of these stupid ads!

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Loving Windows Live Wave 4 so far. The fluid animations throughout the apps are also looking great! What I dislike in WLM so far are the new toasts :p I've also noticed that Mail has become more responsive and faster compared with the previous leaked build. Means I'm back to using Mail again since it nicely integrates itself into Windows 7.

There are a load of other Instant Messaging applications out there which don't have an advert in the contact list, or even in the Chat. Don't say well use those then, because i love Windows Live Messenger, its just it makes no sense for them to use adverts in the IM.

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2010 (copied from the front page) Complaints: - They removed the ability to edit profiles within the app. A lot of functionality has been instead moved to web pages on *.live.com. - They're discontinuing customized names, which people have been using since the beginning. I've already used my first and last name for quite a while, so it doesn't bother me. Perhaps they're doing this to make it easier to merge Messenger's and Facebook's IM together. - Speaking of Facebook, it's ridiculous how my fan pages are appearing as friends. Why is "AVATAR" a friend? Besides that, you can't hide offline Facebook contacts (and all fan pages are 'offline' contacts -_-).

Can Pull-Facebook feeds, but can't update status in this build (No idea why :( ). And Facebook chat is not in this build due to MS saying it is a bit buggy and will be implemented later. And Yeah, Live Mail works lovely! I love the smooth animations now and everything. Oh, also Live Movie Maker seems so much better now!
