Windows Live Beta – Wave 3

from JoeUser Forums

The next betas of Windows Live have been released this week.  Windows Live is moving in a good direction, and the integration with services is just getting better and better.  This new beta release gives updates to several applications.

  • Messenger v9
  • Windows Live Movie Maker
  • Mail with Calendar synchronization
  • Live Writer
  • Photo Gallery
  • Family Safety
  • Outlook Connector

My favorite is Live Writer, which is a fantastic tool to create and publish blog entries.  This can be used for JoeUser, which also posts to ImpulseDriven and WinCustomize.

I love Live Writer...it's the most creative thing that came out of Redmond ;)  

I've tried the new messenger too, but it's just a teensy bit unstable. Crashed on second use :|
