Ideas on Windows Live Wave 4: Your input is needed!


Posted by mynetx on Tue 03 Feb 2009 (19:02 GMT) (2370 views)
While the Windows Live team is working on getting the last bits of Windows Live Wave 3 up and running in the next few weeks (like consent.live.com; or, the long-awaited update to Hotmail introducing Messenger right in the mail interface as well as POP access everywhere; or, the Quick Fix Engineering patch of Messenger 2009, which will be published soon as 14.0.8059.0127), we can already look forward to the next phase of Windows Live.

Windows Live Wave 4, being the work title, will be the first version where the Windows Live, Live Mesh, and Office Live teams work together to create new combinations of services. The teams have just started to collect ideas for the next (major) versions of Windows Live Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery and the rest of the Essentials as well as of the web services Hotmail, Calendar, and Events.

The questions are:
  • What ideas for features do you have when thinking about Windows Live Messenger, or any other Essentials program?
  • What have you been missing all the time, and in every new version you hoped that it would be added finally?
  • Is there anything you got in mind, in regards to better or new Windows Live Web Services – or when it comes to getting different Live Services to work together?
  • We will take care of gathering your ideas and forwarding them to the Windows Live team to be considered.

Let us know about your ideas – we're curious...

I do not see a way right now in Windows Live Hotmail to "select unread messages". I would like to select all unread messages, or select all read messages, etc, and perform bulk actions on them. Having this mail organization feature would improve user productivity greatly.

A File transferr which shows what percentage you are on when sending a file, what kilobytes per second you are sending at and how long untill transfer has finished.

i would also like to see a better display picture management which allows longer dynamic display pictures and not 3 second clips.

finally i would like to see a larger file size limit for .GIF animated images as the 200 kbs is too small for any .GIF animation.

I would like to see the polish of Wave 3 products be applied to the integration of Windows Live in general. When I use a Google service, my account is cleanly mixed into all their services, with no issues. Hotmail and Messenger on the other hand, should work in harmony, but I'm always facing login issues and ugly interfaces.

Hi!

I'd glad when once upon a day I see faster file transfer in my WLM, and resizeable pictures like on the old skool Msn 7 with Stuffplug, I hope you understand what I mean.

Cheers!
