I don't remember signing up for the use of Windows Live Mail Beta, but in anycase I experienced it and in terms of loading speed, it is definitely slower than the previous version of hotmail when you have to click to retrieve anything.

I've signed up for the Live Mail beta program. I don't see things like what your screenshots are. Neither do I see 2000mb of storage space. I was a plain white page with all my mails listed in rows. I didn't get a screenshot of it because I thought it was really bad. I quited from the beta program and got back the usual hotmail interface.
Personally I don't really like Windows Live Mail, the main problem I have with it is that I cannot (or at least didn't find out how to) filter in coming mail, it all goes into the inbox, oh yeah that and the spam filter still doesn't work and theres the hugh banner ads blocking everything. Unless you can't tell I still prefer Gmail it's just more flexibal than this but it is a step in the right direction. Oh yeah I forgot another of my problems the pane layout (like Outlook) only displays in Internet Explorer, amd seeing as this is the only major change from Hotmail that just isn't enough, so I'm gonna stick to Gmail for now.

i do know that accessing it through firefox brings up a competely different interface to when you use internet explorer. now if only internet explorer didn't suck so much.....
I must say I don't like the new service, I am currently on a dial-up conection and it performs too slowly on my connection. I may change my mind once I have my broadband back up and running though.
I am not a big fan of Microsoft email services including this one. And Windows Live Mail don't impress me much as well. I am quite satisfied with Gmail. In fact, I have more than one and they are all so useful. I don't think any mail services form Microsoft can beat Gmail.
But just for trial and more comparisons I may well sign up. I can't believe one has to wait 4 to 5 days to get approved.....
as users, what are the main bonuses of using Live mail? It looks quite simple, and i am quite fond of the simplicity block style of the new Live applciations.
Image removed to save space. Windows Live Mail, even in a browser other than IE, doesn't look like that. I am pretty sure that you get the 2000 MB space, but you probably just got an upgrade to your Hotmail account, and not the full-fledged Live Mail upgrade. I bet it's a system problem.

Can you tell me how to quit this. I just hate it. I want to go back. I'm not sure what it is they are tring to do here but its not working, it takes a long time to load. Leave it up to Microsoft to screw up a good thing.

There's an option to quit the beta on the main page of the Live mail. It's the first page after you've signed in.. I couldn't get a screenshot of it since I'm already out..

But like what was said earlier, it is totally made in Ajax, we do not need to refresh the screen when we delete something, it does it automatically, makes it very smooth in terms of server action movement.
On the design aspect, it is very clean and good looking but 1 thing I do not like is the displaying of links, you are not allowed to click on them until you enable the content to be shown which is a irritating step to take. But then again, this is still a beta mood, so anything can change. However with Microsoft being Microsoft, I do not want to place much hopes on Windows Live Mail being a success.
I personally don't see the point in signing up for Windows Live Mail BETA, mainly because GMail offers around the same size or twice as much I don't really know. Also the style is alot like the new Yahoo Mail BETA. Also for people with Yahoo email addresses and others they can't get this. The only reason I would get this is if it has great features such as spam filtering or something like that. So can anyone tell me if this is worth me creating a new email address?
Now what i dont understand about this is why the heck is it a full screen app? i dont want MSN to be over my whole god damned screen! Thats just stupid. I also hate the look of it...it looks cheap and nasty IMHO. The way i look at this is its just a combination between outlook and MSN messenger...why bother? if i wanted to use outlok i could use it easilly and fast to do what i wanted with it and if i want to use MSN the same applies. I dont understand why they have merged them. And no doubt theres a little script inside it that will do the same as WGA (altho i have a legitimate windows i hate being spied on) and another one which will kick into action and controll the TC chips should they want them to come into action. And yet another script that will ick in when they decide to make us pay for MSN...not that they tell you any of these are in there though. Untill they no onger support 7.5 i wont be using the live MSN...i mjust waiting for the day that they stop AMSN working....That wont be good.
A typical microsoft copycat action. I have abandoned hotmail for quite a long time due to its small space and poor interface. They are now copying the ajax design of gmail and its capacity. That's really a bad move that has taken so long to come. Gmail has improved quite a lot since its launching. Say, a resizing of photos automatically when photos are uploaded. I wonder if microsoft is going to copy this as well.

I am now running on Windows XP. I'm confused whether to use and install Windows Updates or not.
My friends and some local IT support said that I do not need them. But many tech site suggests them
to be installed. Here is my situation : I only use this PC to browse internet, download files,
using P2P software, play games and other activity that doesn't require internet. I never use
wireless internet, my PC is not linked to another PC (workgroup). Do I really need Windows Update at
all? Untill now, I never experienced any crash or something without those updates. ....

Hi all, I am running a Mac and I have a Windows XP home edition already installed on another
partition via boot camp. Then I ran into Parallels and began installing it. However, instead of

couldn't possibly provide a cd key as I already used it to activate. How can I get Parallels to

I'm doing a mail merge from excel to word. I am able to get all the information needed from
excel to word without a problem. In excel, I have a formula that gives me a number of years with
decimal points, so I round it off to 2 decimal points, which is what I want. Now the problem is
when I link it back to word for the mail merge it gives me like 10 decimal points. I only want 2.
