Also, it is out now and stuff... http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-beta

Lol @ Broken link

http://g.live.com/1rebeta4_webd/en/wlsetup-webd.exe?WLI=1

Downloading doesn't give an exe extension

Try here instead http://g.live.com/1rebeta4_webd/en/wlsetup-webd.exe  (for English, obv)

Hopefully there'll be an offline installer available too, I like to get that at work instead to save having to d/l each time I install.

Now I'm just waiting for a compatible version of Plus! before I install

Anyone tried that Messenger Companion thing? What exactly does it do? The description is not very informative...

its like an IE addon. which allows you to share things on the web with your wlm contacts.

Hmm Grabbed the offline links from Liveside.

I'll check later if I can find the real offline ones. Gotta watch the game now .

Is it required for YouTube to work correctly on WLM2010 (just like we saw on the preview video)?

Quick question: Now that WLM 2010 has done away from Display Names, how on earth do I "covert" my display name to my actual name?

Well, from my first experience it's really quite bad...

I had no idea that nicknames had been removed, now forces to use your real name. That kind of sucks, really. Even so, it wasn't even showing that, just displaying my email address which I couldn't change.

Images sent as links automatically open without asking (according to JK).

Not to mention it was disconnecting and crashing constantly...
