Update Windows Live calendar

Does anyone know when we will be getting any new updates. I've been waiting
for months to be able to use the calendar feature with Windows Live and am
disappointed that it is not part of the package. I went from MSN thinking
Windows Live was better and now wish I had not switched. Figured that
Microsoft was going to make a better product not a worse product . Seems to
be taking forever to get the calendar.

If they don't plan to give us the calendar feature , then just let us know
so we can remove this from the Workstation .
Me and my family was dependent on the MSN Calendar and now it's no longer
available. This is not progress it's greed.

Re: Update Windows Live calendar

I don't believe that WLM was ever 'pushed' as a replacement for the calendar
feature in MSN.

Greed? Just how much did you pay for your copy of Windows Live Mail? Mine
was a free download. Nearly as I can tell, MSFT will make $0.00 off of this
product. And you are calling that, "greed"?

Re: Update Windows Live calendar

Besides being free, who ever intimated that the Calendar would be a part of
the next update? We would like to have it in the next update, but if it
doesn't happen, it's definitely not because of greed.

Re: Update Windows Live calendar

I think that if and when Windows Live Mail is given a calendar feature,
which no one has promised, it will be tightly integrated with Windows Live
Calendar, which is still in beta. So you might want to start using Windows
live Calendar beta, or just use the Calendar available through Windows
Live Hotmail. I suspect Windows Live Calendar won't go 'gold' until
Windows Live “Wave 3? is released, which is not due until the end of 2008
(see http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1126 ). Therefore, I don't
expect a calendar feature in WLMail until the release of Windows Live
"Wave 3".

RE: Update Windows Live calendar

I fully agree DWJ. It would be nice to have a Calendar in the Windows Live
Mail desktop application. Apparently ist only in the online format. However
my issue has to do with getting rid of the ads - and it seems this can be
done by connecting to http://calendar.msn.com/<your@xxxxxx>.
Windows Live Mail (online version) just seems to be a wrapper around the MSN
calendar to include the ads. All my appointments are there so I'm kind of
happy for now.

BTW, Windows Live is not "free" - it comes with ADVERTISEMENTS and Micro$oft
rake in big bucks from them. Therefore it is greed on MS's part. Gates was so
greedy in the 80's/90's that now he has more money than he can sesnsibly give
away. The questions that have to be asked are

1. WHY DID MICRO$OFT STILL FAIL TO INVEST BACK THE MONEY IT TOOK FROM THE IT
COMMUNITY WHEN GATES BECAME THE RICHEST PERSON ON THE PLANET?
2. WHY DOES MICRO$OFT ONTINUE TO OFFER SOFTWARE FPOR SALE THAT IS POORLY
TESTED, BARELY OPERATIONAL, AND WITH KNOWN SERIOUS DEFECTS ?
3. DOES MICRO$OFT HAVE ANY CON$CIENCE ABOUT THE APPALLING QUALITY OF THE
SOFTWARE IT SELLS TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY ?

Re: Update Windows Live calendar

You're painting with some rather broad brush strokes.
Windows Live Mail does not have ads. I can't comment on the
other Live apps because I don't use them.

If Microsoft software is as bad as you say it is, the marketplace
would soon correct that situation. People would stop buying
Microsoft's stuff and start buying competitor's products.

Windows Live Mail, the desktop client, has not had ads for a couple of
versions, now. Last I checked, this newsgroup was dedicated to Windows Live
Mail, not any of the other Windows Live applications, or services.

I do not know of a "free" web mail service which does not have ads. Even ISP
web mail services have ads; and ISP subscribers are paying for Internet
access.

Get a Mac then or use Linux. There's a caps lock on all keyboards. Learn
how to use it.
