And auto is their default option!?!?!?!? Am I the only person having a huge WTF moment here?

Auto is the default on the page on the left...for choice use Choose programs link on the right...or just take whichever from the liveside post of course

I dunno what they were thinking introducing auto installers

you'll be forced to update for security reasons. unless you use a Hack or whatever to stay on that version without getting Notifications there is an update available

---

Nope.

WLM 9.0 will still be supported for a long time to come (since this is the only version working on XP, the new WLM is Vista/Win7 exclusive).

I wondered if something like that had happened......I was about to post something cos I'm not looking to install just yet but I double clicked it to see what it was like and it just started installing by itself

My Facebook name & Windows Live name are the same.....my name

The display name thing is gonna suck, a lot of people I know don't have proper Windows Live Profile names set....if most people link to Facebook then it'll be cool, but if not it couild end up with an even weirder looking contact list than with random display names.

I guess it's something to just get used to (unless Plus! can offer localised nicknames? ).  Having it as the full name is a bit gay though, I wouldn't mind it being just my first name (as that's what it is, largely, I tend to use PSM for other stuff)

Also, I hope someone can find offline installers at some point....if not for the beta but for the full thing....I like to always keep a copy of it just for installing WLM when I don't know about the internet connection.

so hot



Also, keep in mind you can still apply nicknames to others.

I came.

On the other side, this is going to be interesting. I curiously have to try this out, but ack, I long for a version of Plus! which is compatible.

Yay for topless video

Interestingly, Sam's cam wasn't showing in WLM 2009, had to upgrade to see him.

In other news... I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials beta, restarted PC, then this Bing Bar showed up. Pretty sure I didn't ask for that..

Oh yeah.....not quite so bad I guess......it'd be nice if Plus! could interact with these though, as it looks like they may end up being more widely used

Was it the installer from the WL Essentials website?  If so, that's an auto-installer than downloads and installs everything from the Live suite.....manual installers (that let you pick as before) have been posted a couple of pages back courtesy of LiveSide.....no offline installers available yet

I think Sunshine said everything was automatic in this specific setup, where as other setup you select what you want.

Easily removable via add/remove programs .

But.. but.. like I said, I uninstalled everything in Windows Live Essentials, restarted PC, then it showed up.

Oh it installs it as a separate item on add/remove programs, that's why.
