Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by 0veR on 09-30-2010 at 07:14 PM

Microsoft has released the final version of Windows Live Essentials 2011.
As Neowin exclusively revealed earlier today, the software giant has released the final edition to the web.
The complete package comes just over a month after a beta refresh was issued on August 17. Microsoft originally released a Windows Live Essentials beta on June 24. Essentials includes the popular programs Windows Live Movie Maker, Mail, Messenger, Writer, Sync, and Family Safety. The Windows Live team has aimed to ensure that the next version of Windows Live Essentials takes advantage of Windows 7 fully. All applications now use the new ribbon UI and integrate further into Windows 7 by using Jumplists. Windows Live Sync is also included which keeps your files synchronized on the web and across multiple PCs.
Microsoft also introduced several new features for Windows Live Photo Gallery, including photo fusing to blend photos together and improved facial recognition.

Some remarks:
- installer doesn't let u choose which programs u want to update and with programs not, so I want to keep the old messenger, but update photo gallery and such
- If I gonna install WLM, all the nicknames are reverted to their real names, sometimes it's easier to know the person by his nickname (forums and such)

What he means is that your own 'display name', the name you have set for yourself, will be reverted to your real name, the name you have set in your online Windows Live Profile. So instead of seeing "alegator", your contacts, and strangers!, will now see your real name (unless they have set a custom nickname for you - but even that does not prevent them from knowing and seeing your real name).
see Taking away display names is HORRIBLE.

Yep, the new Windows Live Essentials can only run on Vista or Windows 7. If you are on XP you can continue to use current version. If you consider getting Windows 7, here's some news that might interest you:

Downloaded WLE2011 today. It looks great but one thing is bothering me. Is it possible to have your contacts underneath eachother like before as opposed to being side by side like they are now?
I would be grateful if somebody could show me how to do that.

RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by Menthix on 10-05-2010 at 10:16 AM
I still don't understand why people were fullscreening WLM 2009 contacts lists. It just creates a big sea of white screen. The reason for multiple columns in WLM 2011 is to make the contacts lists more useful for people who fullscreen them. Guess some people prefer staring at blank space over actual contacts.

Since screen resolution get bigger and bigger, it is not unusual to want to have your contactlist wider, yet in 1 column. Especially if your contacts use long personal messages, and certainly when you don't use the social view as the standard view! In fact, you don't even need to have your contactlist in fullscreen to be annoyed by the too low automatic column width threshold.
Btw, this was actually the very first comment I gave when we tested the new interface last year at the MS campus. Even on the screens used there (which weren't that of a high resolution), it was clearly something which would be nice to have. But at that time they more wanted to show off the new social view and 'intelligent' column width interface than anything else.
On the question if we could have at least have an option then, even maybe just a registry key for all I cared, where we could override this auto-column width threshold (so the columns can become wider before they are split), they said everybody would love the new and intelligent way that the columns would be set anyways. Well, guess not...
Even if I would set the width in WLM2011 the same as I've set it in the previous version it would split! And my contactlist is certainly not too wide with lots of white spaces (on the contrary)...
But I hope this is something a Plus! skin would be able to 'fix'.
(probably patchable too, but I cba too look for it
)

You can use my patch for totally remove ads and spaces
http://www.zolexlive.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=359&act=down
I recommand to only use the "Supprimer la publicité" function
- "Mode Inactivité" is for french idle status in conversation windows
- "Onglets Zolex Community" is our own tabs, google instead bing search, news badges
- "Mode Polygamie" is Polygamy but a little bit bugged on WLM 2011 final.., you need to run wlm 2011 on xp compatibility
Edit:
Or I made a little skin for Msg Plus! Live 4.90 that removes the ads

Yeah, I downgraded to 2009 again only to find that it wouldn't let me sign in because "The Windows Live Messenger team has identified an important security issue in Messenger." And of course they seem to have removed personal messages as well, unless that "share a message" box up the top is meant to be it -- if it is, it doesn't work; I have myself added to my contact list and nothing happened.
Normally I'm fine with updates to software, but this is just annoying to me. I'd rather people not know my real name unless they're friends of mine that I actually talk to in person (in which case I have no choice anyway really). Does anyone else think this may be a bit of a breach of privacy or am I just a little paranoid and weird?

It's weird. I attempted to log into WLM9, but it wouldn't let me unless I upgraded. Eventually I gave in and just clicked Yes, but it didn't appear to do anything: it's still WLM9 but I can log in now. I have no idea if this will last though, so I'm still suspicious at the moment.

But yeah, it will last, as in: they wont force you to use WLM 2011 because that is not compatible with XP anymore; it is build for another OS.
But of course if there are new security issues found, you'll need to update again (but not to WLM 2011 - but to a new WLM 2009 build).
-----
Both versions (WLM 2009 and 2011) can be downloaded from the official Microsoft pages:
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-Messenger
All you need to do is clicking on the correct link on the big panel on the right: "WLM for Windows XP (WLM 2009)" or "WLM for Windows 7 (WLM 2011)".
WLM for XP (WLM 2009) is also available in Microsoft's Download Center btw:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...-88C8-278267802F57
-----
And since WLM 2009 is the last version working on XP, it will continue to be available for quite some time (note: a version for Windows 2000 (MSN 7) is also still available from the official Microsoft Download Center).

Is there any way I can get rid of this nasty version of WLM, and bring the version I was using before back? I seem to have no features or anything that I had on the previous (and now much wanted again!) version of WLM, can anyone advise what I should do?

Simply uninstall WLM 2011, then reboot, then download and install WLM 2009 which you can find on the official Messenger website: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-xp
If you installed a program you don't want, you logically would try to uninstall it first
---
Using System Restore might have done more damage than it would have solved anything! System Restore is NOT a software backup or uninstaller and should only be used in severe cases. Eg: system crash or important and severe system config screw up.
By trying System restore you might now have set important system settings back to a default or incorrect state and/or removed important updates etc. And in some cases you actually might have restored a previously removed virus.
As such I actually recommend you to first go to Microsoft Windows Update and update your Windows entirly. Also check all your system configurations.

What? I don't use XP, that's the weird thing. I'm on 7, plus I'm also on the latest version (14.0.8117.416). So far it hasn't bugged me again, it's letting me sign in and everything, but it did try to get me to redownload the 2011 suite from Windows Update.

It doesn't matter what OS you use in this case; you were running on old (insecure) build of WLM 2009.
The only thing, in regards to what OS you use, is that if you use Windows 7, then the update will suggest WLM 2011 instead of WLM 2009 (which is quite a logical suggestion in that case). If you're running XP, you wont get suggested to update to WLM 2011 as that is only compatible with Windows 7.
So, yeah.... update to latest WLM 2009 build (if you prefer WLM 2009) and all will be well. Although it might be that from time to time you'll get that suggestion again to update to WLM 2011 though...

But if you mean when will there be a Messenger Plus! Live version fully compatible with WLM 2011, then the answer is somewhere in December (if all things go well). See 'Plus 4.9 on WLM 2011. Which features work and which ones don't' or the official latest news on www.msgpluslive.net.
Oh yes that's what I meant of course, sorry. my bad
and thanks
I seem to have a problem signing into msn this morning though, it won't accept my password, yet i can sign into hotmail using the same pass....anyone else having the same prob?

Also, the block function IS GONE meaning that people you have blocked see you online if youre using 2011, what a pile of crap.
If i use 2009, that problem goes away?
Also what is the version of Plus that works with this one? (2009)

thank you.
Using 2009 again.

). Appear offline in WLM 2011 does not behave the same as block in WLM 2009 (at all). Appearing offline to a contact in WLM 2011 just prevents you from talking to that person. It does not prevent that contact from talking to you. In other words, appearing offline in WLM 2011 does not prevent people from annoying you as blocking does in WLM 2009.
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by gaara20 on 10-23-2010 at 07:54 PM
And not forgeting that people you have blocked WILL BE UNBLOCKED if you use WLM 2011 and be online, meaning that 2011 doesn't "know" who is blocked so the list is reseted.
And yes, Menthix has a point, its not the same thing. You just appear offline to that person.
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by Chris4 on 10-24-2010 at 02:37 AM
Oh right, apologies for making that assumption - wasn't aware of that. 
If you delete a contact and your privacy settings are set to private (friends only) - would the contact then not be able to talk to you (i.e. blocked) ?

well to me they were online... so i went back to 2009.
and remember offline is not the same as blocked. They can still talk to you, or go to your profile.

So since the betas came out and everybody complained about anything, without installing it can somebody tell me if they realized ANYTHING?
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by marcthpro on 10-25-2010 at 09:22 AM
iv being using it for a long time there new emoticon pattern but what piss me off is there is no Drawing / doodling such as WLM 2009
So If I want to Draw I as to Install WLM 2009 as Microsoft
won't let you run two Different Version within same OS 
It would be nice if Window Live Messenger 2011 Would see a upgrade soon to allow Drawing
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released by gaara20 on 10-25-2010 at 07:49 PM
btw are there at least personal messages in 2011? I noticed this "share something" stuff or something like that during my quick stay in that msn but didnt use it.
Also, if i write personal messages in msn 2009 will they at least appear to people that are using 2011?
