Downloading Latest Version of WLM

Hello,

I am using the 1606 version of WLM. To get the latest version, should I
uninstall this version and install the latest version, or can I download the
lastest version on top of the version I am currently using?

Thank you,

Nissi1

TTBMK, 12.0.1606 is the latest (release) version. I think that
14.0.8050.1202 may be the latest (beta) version, but I don't do beta
testing. Usually.

Re: Downloading Latest Version of WLM

Good evening Miller,

That had me confused. I thought the version I am using was out of beta
since I started using WLM when it was in its previous last version.

Since posting my question, I had an opportunity to read what others were
saying about the new beta. Although I experience a few issues from time to
time, I think I will stick with what I have. I prefer icons and the coloring
of WLM is not bad.

Thank you for taking the time to post that bit of information.

May you and yours have a blessed holiday,

Nissi1

Enjoy the icons while you can. It looks like MS is hell-bent on getting rid of
them, ostensibly to harmonize with the leaner & meaner Windows 7 theme.

Re: Downloading Latest Version of WLM

Hello Gary,

I read some of the comments. People are not happy. I do not understand the
type of changes these companies are making these days. Have you seen what
happened to the Dell Community Forum? Long time participants are leaving due
to the mess.

I have own this computer w/Vista for not quite 2 years. A month after I
received this Dimension, it was almost obsolete, soon Vista will be also. I
certainly do not have the finances to invest in a new computer or new OS
every 2 years. But that is progress, regardless how misguided it can be!

Have a blessed holiday Gary,

Nissi1

WLMail 12.0.1606 is not a beta version. Abbreviating to just 1606 could be
confusing because that is a minor version number. You really should include
the major version number, as well. 12 has the non-beta release (I don't
recall which minor version was the first release version, or even if there
are more than one minor release version). AFAIK, all 14s are still betas.
Just a couple of different minor versions at this time.

As do I. And, with every release version of Windows since XP, I've been
threatening to bail to Linux. Lack of Vista drivers for my scanner is
keeping me away from Windows Vista at this time. I really need to bite the
bullet, and set up Linux on the spare computer.

Microsoft are obviously superstitious (No version 13)!

San José Hilton and San José Marriott are not. As I recall, both have a 13th
