Okay, I probably get a little more excited about Windows Live then you, but you may be interested in a couple of the updates which where rolled out over the last couple days:
Windows Live Mesh
If you managed to get into the Mesh Technical Preview a few months ago then you would have seen the possibilities of Live Mesh, a very impressive release from Microsoft.
Since then there have been 3 updates including the latest. Bugs have been fixed, its no longer necessary to have UAC activated to use Mesh, File sharing across networks was added and now Mesh is open for any US user, and any one else if they change their localisation language settings to English (US). Very basic support for mobile devices has also been incorporated and although isn’t too functional at the moment it looks very promising.
You can see all your directories, files and even upload photos you’ve taken from your mobile into your mesh. This is actually a great feature, because if you can have photos stored in the cloud then space on your phone is saved, although it all depends on the cost of data transfer from your phone.
You no longer have to go though Microsoft Connect to get a mesh account either, a welcome change.
Windows Live Calendar
A minor update to Windows Live Calendar has introduced some ‘catch up’ features and enhancements but nothing too useful like synchronisation between Windows Calendar and Live Calendar. According to Liveside.net the update includes:
- Firefox 3 support
- Subscribing to public calendars
- Automatic birthday calendar for contacts
- Working link between Hotmail and Live Calendar
- Printing in day/week/month view
- More language support
