Windows Live Wave 3 services launch today (Updated)

As we hinted at yesterday , today marks the update for most of the Windows Live services to Wave 3. This release (Codename Peloton for those keeping track), is expected to mainly take place from 4pm PST onwards, and will include the release of new services such as Windows Live Groups, Photos and Profile as well as the significantly updated Home and Mobile offerings. No this doesn't include the release of Windows Live Essentials, the desktop applications. Note, Hotmail and Calendar are both on a different release schedule, and as such will remain at their Wave 3 Milestone 2 builds until a later

Liveside Wave 3.1

Liveside-Glass-07

Yesterday we released a newly redesigned Liveside.net.  In the poll, about 50% of you voted that it needed work.

Well after a days worth of work, I've managed to make of the suggested themes into a CS 2007 theme.  There's still some bugs, but they should be iron'd out soon.

The new look sports a new Navigation Menu, some more colors, and some fixed bugs. Including the Next 10 Posts on the main page.  The right sidebar has also been updated, having it's Stay Informed Split in 3.

Anyhow, the new poll for Try 2 is available from http://www.liveside.net/forums/p/1266/3813.aspx#3813, in our Poll section.

Reactions, comments, praise, and more are all welcome.

On behalf of the Liveside Team, Thanks for your time and feedback from yesterday, welcome to Wave 3.1

This is a very good improvement, but the green and blue color don't go together.

The replacement of green with blue looks A LOT better :)

I agree with the above comment.

Although I do not like the old magnifying glass search button. I think it should be replaced with a green "Search" button similar to the WL Wave 2 products or just a better colour magnifying glass button - but the old button currently in use does not go with the new skin.

I also think there is a tad too much white still, but I do like this skin and new logo much more than the old greener one.

It looks exactly the same in FireFox and IE7 in my opinion. I don't know about IE6 though.

Thanks for taking my suggestion into account Chris.

This new layout has got me even more hyped up about the Windows Live Wave 2 layouts now though lol so I hope they introduce it all soon!!
