The Windows Live Calendar upgrade announced here has now completed. It now has a new look and the thing that one notices right away is that it now has the Wave 3 header. Wave 3 header? Yea the one with themes!

Hmm wonder why they call it scenes in Messenger…

So themes, but what else? New features? Yes, Windows Live Calendar now has a  To Do List!

If you click on None in the fields behind Due Date you will be presented with a Calendar in one and a timetable in the other. You can set the priority too, choices are High, Normal and Low.

And there’s my To Do list. Pretty cool!

What it looks like when not in compatibility mode:

As you can see it’s all cramped up and the birthdays now changed into a link saying “1 more”. But that’s not all! Go and scroll, you’ll see the Birthdays “disappear”, well from where they should be…this is the result after scrolling a bit:

The birthdays have moved to the first square in the week they should be in, all mashed up at that…can’t tell what it is till you hover over it :(

Did you know: you can manage your calendars with Windows Live Mail
