It’s been a busy couple of days in the world of Windows Live! Last night, Microsoft released the newest release and upgrade to Windows Live Mail Beta- Milestone 7. An official list of the newest changes has not been released. A week ago, an early preview was posted at liveside.net. The expected changes are:
- Loading indicator
- Storage Meter
- Recently Updated Spaces
- Return of Checkboxes (just like Hotmail)
- Drag & Drop Improvements
- First Run Improvements
- Ability to turn on/off Spell Checker
- Signature Rich Text Editor
- Print Contacts
- Contact Import
- More Languages
- Search Contacts
- Performance Improvements
- Improvements to basic version
- Return of the Photo Upload Tool from Hotmail
- Search structured query syntax
At first glance, it appears as though the expected changes listed above have been implemented. Windows Live Mail is currently being used by 6 million people, and they continue to increase the number of beta users. It is important to remember that it is still in beta, and while it is a big milestone, everything probably won’t run perfectly yet.
