Nothing can stay quiet for long, thanks to Microsoft’s early preparations the Windows Live Wave 2 applications are available for download now!

Messenger is now 8.5.1302.1018 and Mail is now at 12.0.1606 . If you have any problems installing/upgrading from the betas, the following support article should help.

Download the new Windows Live Applications Installer (Downloads automatically the localized version)

This is the counter that you see (to be correct that was the clock at Monday evening 21:44 GMT+1) when you visit https://www.countdowntobetter.com. This is the counter that counts down to the 2nd Windows Live wave. In other words in about 1 day (and a few hours) Microsoft will launch the final versions of several of it’s Windows Live Beta products. This will include, Messenger, Writer (at last), Mail, Photo Gallery, Famility Safety and (the online service) SkyDrive. As you can see at the Windows Live Betas home page. Let’s hope the installer works fine on x64 Windows. The beta installer didn’t work for me (it was a known issue @ beta support). If the installer isn’t working, visit this knowledgebase article for the first help.

Vandaag probeerde ik een nieuwe versie van Windows Live Writer (de app. waar ik mijn blog in maak) te installeren, maar om de een of andere vage reden krijg ik onderstaande melding. Overigens bevat de installer meer Windows Live applicaties. Wel jammer, want met de nieuwe Live Writer was het eenvoudig mogelijk om video’s toe te voegen (rechtstreeks vanaf SoapBox / MSN Video etc.).
