Windows Live Wave 3: Messenger v9

M1 dogfood build review and screenshots

Looks like its open-season on Wave 3 now, with Inky over at Mess.be getting his hands on the Wave 3 Milestone 1 installer for Windows Live Messenger. While Inky may be obsessed with version numbers and about screens, we’re more interested in what’s going on in terms of new integration across services. Its now been 9 months since the launch of Messenger 8.5, Mail and Photo Gallery as part of Wave 2, but as this is only a first milestone, there’ll be other internal updates before a version gets released to the public. That said, there’s still some positive signs that the eventual Messenger v9 release is going to be good.

Microsoft sends out Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta invites

No sooner has the Windows Live Wave 2 suite been released than the first Wave 3 beta begins - Windows Live Messenger v9. Unlike the betas that have just finished, the Messenger v9 beta is being run from Microsoft Connect as a private beta, meaning that, for the moment at least, unless you receive an invite, you won't be able to participate.



For the moment it looks like most previous Windows Live testers are getting invites, so stay tuned to your inbox. With such a popular beta like this, you better sign up quick.



So what's new? While the goodies aren't yet available, we've heard about Multiple Points Of Presence (MPOP) support, which allows you to signin from multiple devices, ie be online at two places at once.

Features and screenshots of the new Windows Live Messenger v9

Mess.be: A few days ago we obtained the latest installer for Windows Live Messenger, version "2009". We were asked to keep it quiet for now, but of course we couldn't contain our excitement and had to let all messers out there know about the new stuff. The most noticeable is of course the new look, with colors and headers resembling the new Windows Live header that has been discussed by Liveside before. On top of that, it looks like all the various dialogs are now also properly styled like Windows Live Messenger, rather than having the "old" Windows look. Here, why don't you have a look for yourself...

As we reported a few weeks ago, Microsoft has officially rolled out an update to Windows Live Essentials (Build 8064).

Introducing Windows Live Solution Center

The Windows Live Team is at it again. Following the major release of the Windows Live Essentials release 3 days ago, the team has released Windows Live Solution Center.

However, the main focus of the new solution center at the moment is Windows Live Hotmail. The Windows Live team has stated that more services will be covered in the new solution center at a later date, but that doesn't mean you absolutely cannot ask for help with other Windows Live products and services.
