tablet_user Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think i got a bad install or something. Mail works and picture works but on WLM everyone is offline. I login on a different messenger and everyone is online.

Xenon Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 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. However, Device to Device sync is of unlimited storage. <-- You sure about that? That would be very cool.

nycmattw Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ugh I suggest going to facebook and go your app settings and remove windows live from there.

Mazhar Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I just noted that this is not for Windows XP! My Office computer has XP in it! And it means I cannot use sync my files with my homes computer having Windows 7! I mean what's MS is thinking? Over 60% PCs cannot use Windows Live Essentials just because they don't have Vista or 7?

revanmj Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 When I open a photo from Windows Explorer a Wave 3 styled window shows up without any edit tools. I must click "Open in Photo Gallery" to get Wave 4 look and edit tools. What "genius" could do it that way !? Sometimes I really think that some idiots are designing this software ...

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2010 There seems to be a bug with the display pictures. If you play a game (DX based), after you're done playing the window previews are blank, and the display picture frames are all blank.

zhangm Supervisor Posted June 25, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted June 25, 2010 After receiving endless requests during the Mesh Beta of increasing the storage space, they finally "update" the program with this new Sync label and give us...less storage. Way to listen, Microsoft. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/30/#findComment-592812244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazhar Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 soon enough my friend. people are moving to win7 like crazy! The problem is that I spend my whole day at office and my computer has Windows XP in it and I am not allowed to upgrade! In fact, my computer has 512 RAM in it! So I am disappointed that I cannot use Wave 4 with XP!
