Izlude Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i just got it. it's working really well. out of the beta box, it wasn't the least bit confusion. although i wonder if there is a minimal mode to go back to the traditional messenger list?

Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 25, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted June 25, 2010 it's mostly the facebook integration not working quite right in messenger and a bunch of other people complaining about no longer being able to use a nickname in messenger, everything else is great though Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/29/#findComment-592811546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 ok, i'm going to give this a chance because I tested WLM 8 (remember that horrible green?) and WLM9 which in comparison to the early 8 builds was actually good. i've changed 2011 so that only messenger contacts are shown. if i wanna go to facebook, i will open the internet browser now for a question, i can see what my contact are listening to. do they still see what i am listening to?

Lazure Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Man there's just so many things MS took away from us that totally ruined MSN. Here's hoping they keep allowing the current WLM to be used for a long time, cuz I will not go without my customizable display name, taglines, themes, or one-way camming which I do a LOT. Especially when I want to manycam something on my desktop to show someone how to do something. I also do not want my full name plastered all over my MSN list. I did not sign up to MSN with that in mind to begin with!

ienhz Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Good god this version of messenger is awful. I like the idea of the social page but it seems like they forgot what this program was originally designed for. I really hope they change how the program functions in the final version or I will be moving to another IM client.

Izlude Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i noticed there are badges now. that's a neat idea if you want to advertise to your pals... especially if you have a t-shirt e-card website ahem ahem ;) in the final version, do you suppose we'll get to make our own badges? or is this a blue mountain thing only? :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/29/#findComment-592811760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen1393 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Am I the one not disappointed by this beta? It Mail works great, Messenger works just as well as before and has facebook integration. Photo Gallery's features are great and the ribbon works really well, Sync should have more online storage but it still does a decent job. The biggest disappointed imo was Live Movie Maker since they only added 4 new transitions.

Argi Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I love the changes - no complaints here. Only issue is updating my status within messenger doesn't propagate to Facebook correctly.

Photo Gallery's features are great and the ribbon works really well, Sync should have more online storage but it still does a decent job. The biggest disappointed imo was Live Movie Maker since they only added 4 new transitions. Off course not. The beta is good and Sync only has 2 GB which is enough; if you have been reading around, you will know that Micorosft realized that no one is actually using the 25 GB storage, so really 2 GB is just fine for your files. However, Device to Device sync is of unlimited storage. As far as other applications are concerned, messenger could have been a lot more better, I mean 2 years of time and we just got integration to other services and that's all? I mean Messenger is the only application that I care and use the most. I don't use WL Mail, as I use Outlook. I find Sync a good application and very easy to use. It is very simplified. Overall, I would rate the Wave 4 beta, 7 out of 10.

Ayepecks Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I guess I'm the only one to find these to be a bit "meh." I don't care for the ribbon. It has a place in Office because there are so many features, but in these all it actually does is complicate things even more. I liked Windows Live Essentials when they were nice and simple.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 25, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted June 25, 2010 why isn't there a way to report bugs like there was with office 2010 beta i found quite the bug in live mail, it's when you try to create a rule to automatically move certain things to a folder, none of the folders show and it gives an error when you try to create a new one from that spot try it out yourself, you'll see what i mean Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/29/#findComment-592811964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted June 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted June 25, 2010 would be awesome to allow Facebook chat through MSN. Right now when I click a Facebook contact, it goes to a 'send IM page' instead.
