Windows Live Messenger – more new features expected

So now that everybody is using the leaked Wave 3 Milestone 1 build, (oops we can’t talk about that) and Microsoft employees are using the latest Milestone 2 daily builds, we thought it was time to just cut to the chase and look at what we expect to see come final release (or M3 for those keeping count). As always, this may change, so just think of it as a taster of what is to come.

 

Here’s what’s showing up for the first time in these pictures.

Windows Sysinternals: Now Live

The Sysinternals web site was created in 1996 by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell to host their advanced system utilities and technical information. Microsoft acquired Sysinternals in July, 2006. Whether you’re an IT Pro or a developer, you’ll find Sysinternals utilities to help you manage, troubleshoot and diagnose your Windows systems and applications.

All these applications are now also available to you online, 24/7, without you having to download them. From the Windows SysInternals Homepage:

We’re excited to announce the beta of Sysinternals Live, a service that enables you to execute Sysinternals tools directly from the Web without hunting for and manually downloading them. Simply enter a tool’s Sysinternals Live path into Windows Explorer or a command prompt as \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\<toolname> or view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com.

If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft Windows Sysinternals, it is highly recommended that you visit the website at http://technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals before using these tools.

Is the UNC path "\\live.sysinternals.com\" working for anyone? I have Vista x64 and it isn't working right now...

Works fine here on 32 bits Vista Ultimate. If you are on the website simply click on the app, then choose "run".

If you wish to run the command maybe adding run back to the start menu in Vista will make this easier for you. To do this right-click on Start, select Properties (move to the Start Menu tab if not already there) then click Customize. Scroll down through the options, tick the box labelled "Run command" and click OK.

I managed to start the following sysinternal apps from start > run:

\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\procexp.exe

\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\procmon.exe

\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\autoruns.exe

\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\tcpview.exe

Of course there are more, but these are some to start of with ;)

If there are programs you use frequently you can make a shortcut for them on your desktop (rightclick your desktop, select new > shortcut). Use these commands as location of the item.

It's working perfectly here on Vista x64. Takes some time to get started, but then works like a charm.

So true Alex, sometimes it takes a bit so one thinks "hmm, nothin is happening" and then it pops up.
