After unveiling what's next for the most popular Windows Live client application, Messenger, and the most popular Windows Live web service, Hotmail, Microsoft is now ready to zero in on (most of) the remaining client applications in the Windows Live Essentials suite.
The Wave 4 release of Essentials still includes Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Movie Maker, and Windows Live Family Safety. Windows Live Sync has received a major update and is now part of the suite. The Windows Live Toolbar, meanwhile, has been replaced with the Bing Bar.
Microsoft has made it easy for iPhone users to check their mobile updates on Windows-enabled computers.
Is nothing sacred?
The blog post reads, “We’re introducing a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and is built with an interface similar to the app's mobile version.”
