  1. I am sure we will all be pleased to see a new Windows Live with new features. If what we can already be seen in the leaked builds can be used as an accurate indication of all we will be getting with this new version then I will be very disappointed that it took almost 2 years to implement only that. I am hoping this wave will come with a lot of pleasant surprises.
