Windows Live Messenger, Mail and Writer betas - signup now

Posted May 28 2007, 12:12 AM by Chris with 11 comment(s)

A new beta program for "Messenger, Mail, and Writer" was just added to Microsoft Connect suggesting that these three programs will be releasing into beta soon. While some information is already available, those who want to contribute something to the development of Windows Live products are encouraged to sign up.

Here's a summary of what you could be seeing:

Is question two a trick question? "If you physically reside in the US, is your primary language Spanish?" straight after the question "Are you able to read or write English?"

Seems like the survey includes a english language test component as well =P

No problem. If you've tested betas before you'll probably get an invite anyway, but it never hurts to make sure :)

It is not only explaining if these new betas only function in the Vista or if it functions in Windows XP.

Good that for me that I am Brazilian and the Spaniard is calm to understand, the facil than English. In Brazil lingua is Portuguese ours, but the Spaniard is calmer to understand therefore the words has a noise similar to the Portuguese.

OMG BEAUTIFUL!

Finally the layout of all 3 look nice and clean.. and I love the consistent and refreshed look! :)

I was starting to loose hope on Windows Live.. but now I'm really excited again...

GREAT JOB MICROSOFT!

They've defineitly impressed me lately. :)

P.S. Apple sucks :)... i'm really getting sick and tired of their hateful commercials against PCs.. at least MS focuses on the positives and cool features of their own products.
