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!
If you have IE8 beta 2, you may want to set it to compatibility view for Windows Live Calendar.
When you install Windows Live Mail, either for the first time or as an upgrade to an older version, go straight to Calendar. For the first time, Windows Live has a complete, working, beautiful, and fun calendar.
First of all, it’s beautiful. Clean, elegant, simple. Even though it works in harmony with the online Windows Live Calendar, you’ll want to use the Live Mail version (and that’s the beauty of software + services!).
While Google Calendar has taken over much of the early adopter market share, Windows Live had to wait for Feedsync to get to a point where it could be deployed. That’s been painful in the short term. In the long run, it’s a calendar (and a sync mechanism) worth waiting for.
