What Would You Like Changed/Improved In Windows Live? Email Your Suggestions To Kent Compton

The proper way to give Microsoft feedback isn’t always easy to find, especially when it’s an idea you have. In order to make this easier, Kent Compton, a product planner for Windows Live Essentials, created an email address for you to send your ideas regarding Windows Live to.

If you have an idea, for example about Windows Live Messenger or Windows Live Mail, please submit them to the address below:

Livewish at Microsoft

We’ve put it here as an image, just as Kent has, in order to prevent spam bots from grabbing the address. We wouldn’t want our ideas buried by spam now would we? ;)

Don’t get upset if you don’t see your suggestion in the next version of said program or the one after that. Not every suggestion will make it into the program due to a process called prioritization (limited time of the developers, target audience etc.). However they are always looking for ideas that will benefit a large amount of people. Like for example AutoCorrect, which Kent mentions as one of the things he would like to see implemented in more of the Windows Live Products.

So go on, send your idea and who knows, maybe we’ll see it turn up in Wave 4 of Windows Live Essentials.

    Thanks, now I have a more direct way of input, rather just a blog.

    To be honest email must be the worst way to read suggestions from people. Even a forum isn’t great. Surely a voting system, similar to those used by TweetDeck would enable truely good ideas to be placed into the limelight.

    See http://www.tweetdeck.com and clikc on “Feedback” icon at the side of the page.

    I’ve been using http://feedback.live.com for quite a while, as I was told it was the “preferred” method for gathering all feedback. Guess I’ll have to go back through my list and send my WL Essentials wish list to this address…again.

    Why offer this when feedback.live.com appears to be a more effective solution and accessible throught the help menu in almost all Live applications? Add an entirely different feedback option by offering this email solution simplyt dilutes an already effective established solution. Instead of announcing a new email Kent should simply remind people to use the feedback.live.com site.

    Additionally, I agree with foaf’s comment and suggest that the live feedback site should allow people to browse, vote on and comment on suggestions from other users.

    Feedback.live.com has a 1000 character limit. I also like to add graphics, which you cannot do through feedback live. Because of these two issues, I would prefer email over feedback.live.com.
