Windows Live Folders beta expands tomorrow

Hot off the press is an email sent to some of those who signed up for the Windows Live Folders beta and don’t yet have access.

“Subject: Windows Live Folders — opening soon!

Thanks for signing up for the Windows Live Folders waiting list. We’re sending you email to let you know that we’ll be expanding our beta on Wednesday starting at 10am PST!

To sign up, simply click Get Started on our homepage, starting at 10am tomorrow: http://folders.live.com/

If you have any questions, feel free to post them on our blog: http://livefoldersteam.spaces.live.com/

Thanks again,
Windows Live Folders Team”

It doesn’t seem to be a large addition to the program, so if you haven’t got an invite yet, don’t give up. Is it too much if we hope for an update to the service at the same time though? 

Thanks Owen for the tip!

    Hey there,

    My websites closed at the moment because I’m changing a whole load of things around on it. It should be back up soonish.
    You shouldn’t need to set your market to US. I live in New Zealand and signed up with my market as NZ, and it’s letting me in. Maybe their expanding now? That would also mean alot of other countries would now be accepted too.

    I’m really wanting to try that Windows Live Photo Gallery thing. I’m hoping they’ll release something about that soon.

    I just signed in by accident at 1120PM EST and got signed up, so it still appears to be open.

    I was actually checking the login page, and it signed me up. :)

  • AndyD

    Actually, I just signed out, and signed back in to test something, and it is still there for me.

    Does anyone else have it say “Windows Live SkyDrive” on the login page?

  • Mishraz

    yep Andy it does say “Windows Live SkyDrive”
