I like the 8.5 GUI just needs some aero enhancements for vista the WLInstaller is terrible, good in idea shite in practise and slow as hell at downloading and installing!


According to Paul, v9.0 will have some very neet aero affects and some silverlight functionality. We'll just have to wait and see :).

I don't like the installer system. It took me 10-15 minutes to install the WLM with sign-in assistant and i can't imagine what i would have done if had been in hurry. Microsoft should let users to choose an alternative way of installing the software. That would be much more flexible and user friendly.

The good thing is that the memory usage is a bit lower. :)

I agree that there should be deperate installers for each product for those who don't want to use the all-in-one installer. The main initiative for the all-in-one installer is to get users to try the key Windows Live software, or at least to give the programs a try. I downloaded and upgraded: Toolbar, Sign-in Ass, Mail, Messenger, Gallery, and Writer. For me, the new installer took a total time of 7 minutes to download and upgrade compaired to a total time of 16 when the installer was in beta.
I'm on: Twitter, Facebook, and Neowin
