This version is MUCH better than WLMd, it's much faster, more stable and doesnt have the annoying little bug where if you sign out of Windows Live Messenger while WLM is loading, it won't recieve emails for five minutes. Good work Windows Live Team! :-D

porio & Chris - The missing calendar button was also the first thing I noticed... (next to the new interface of course). I think they will add it in the blank space as Chris said, later on, when they are ready with the development of the "live calendar". Thanks also for the installation help in the posts!

porio - gold star for you! anybody else notice the blank space between the messenger icon and the frame that is button sized? :)

calum - no problem.

adamzhu1986 - yes, it will replace WLMd. everything will migrate over except newsgroups you have subscribed to.

I'm not completely won over by it... I'm still hanging out for the "connector" beta to go public, I thought that was supposed to be out at the same time?

All 3 apps installed without problems for me, on XP SP2, all previous versions uninstalled first. Windows Live Mail does not replace Outlook or Outlook Express; it is installed into its own folder and does not take over or become the default email app unless you set it to be. In case it does set itself as the default, you can reset Outlook from its own options, or from IE's Programs tab in the options.

Hey! where did the 'Calendar' button go? I know that in the previous build the button did nothing more than linking to the web-based hotmail (or Live?) calendar; but now that they removed it, does it mean that there will be no calendar support ever in the desktop client? What is the use of a desktop client that can not handle all of the functions of the web-accessed account?
