			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in May 2010, the Windows Live team published an update for Windows Live Essentials 2009 (Wave 3). It introduced stability fixes as well as a simplification of the webcam feature. Back then, the <a href="http://mynetx.net/3265/changed-webcam-feature-in-messenger-in-depth-explanation">discussion</a> about this changed feature was immense. </p>
<p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs024.snc6/165479_475026153805_551053805_5757925_8251649_a.jpg" width="180" height="44" alt="Windows Live Essentials" class="aligncenter" /></p>
<p>Until now, this Wave 3 update (build number 14.0.8117) was optional.  This is going to change soon: The update will be forced on all users of Windows Live Essentials 2009.  Piero Sierra, the Group Program Manager for Windows Live, <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2011/01/17/minor-update-for-windows-live-messenger-pre-2011.aspx">announced</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This Messenger update simplifies how you start a video call from within Messenger pre-2011.  Rather than individually managing your and your friend’s webcam feeds and audio, you can now start a video call just by clicking the “Video” button in the conversation window or by clicking the webcam icon.  Also, you can more easily make video calls to your friends who do not have webcams, controlling the audio for both you and your friend by clicking the speaker and microphone icons.</p></blockquote>
<p>This minor update is going live within the next week and rolls out in 48 languages.  It does not force you to install Windows Live Essentials 2011 however.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Messenger 2009: Webcam by mynetx, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mynetx/4647444182/"><img class="alignleft imgLeft" style="margin: 5px 20px 20px 0;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4647444182_b532d4fbe0_s.jpg" alt="Messenger 2009: Webcam " width="75" height="75" /></a>The first changes due to Messenger 2011 are introduced in Messenger 2009 now as well, as we noticed:</p>
<p>The webcam feature is only usable on both sides. The feature “Show my Webcam” is no longer available. If you now click the webcam icon next to your display picture, a Video Call will start directly. If the recent Messenger 2009 update (Build 8117) has not been installed yet, pending single-side webcam invitations will be rejected automatically server-side.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m wondering: I haven’t installed nor received any update for Messenger yet, and still&#8230; will features of the new Messenger come to my PC silently this way?</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I&#8217;ve tested the Video Call feature and am thrilled about its picture quality. Though, one problem remains: you only can “cam” with one person at once. I assume this is something we have to get used to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Since a few days, I have the newest Windows Live version, Build 14.0.8117.416. Since I have this version, I cannot start simple webcam transmissions anymore&#8230; only video call works. Is that how it works in the new version?? If yes, that’s a really stupid change! Or is the problem located on my end??</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Video call in Messenger 2009 by mynetx, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mynetx/4626831452/"><img class="alignright rightCol" style="margin: 5px 0 20px 20px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4626831452_850650c688_m.jpg" alt="Video call in Messenger 2009" width="148" height="240" /></a>Questions like this keep increasing since an intermediate update for Windows Live Messenger 2009 has been published recently. What is it all about? When you want to send or view webcam in this upgraded version, you will launch a video call. This is a changed behavior, and people are quite confused about it.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3266 imgLeft" style="margin: 5px 20px 20px 0;" title="Piero Sierra" src="http://blog.mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/piero-sierra.png" alt="" width="65" height="65" />Piero Sierra, Group Program Manager for Shared Data Experience, has <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2010/05/12/minor-update-to-essentials-released-today.aspx">posted</a> the in-depth explanation why these changes to Messenger’s webcam functionality have been made:</p>
<blockquote><p>There seems to be some confusion on the update to the webcam feature.  Let me clarify that one-way video conversations are still very much supported.  It is still absolutely possible to “share your video” with a relative abroad who does not have a video camera.  Or see someone else’s webcam when you do not have one.  Let me explain how you do this:  Let’s say you do not have a video camera, and are chatting with a friend who does.  In the chat window, click “Video” (or click the webcam icon next to your friend’s user tile).  This will set up a one-way video call.  You can then mute or unmute your audio by clicking the microphone. You can control your friend’s audio by clicking the speaker icon.  Simple as that, and you still have the control.  The inverse is also supported (where you have a webcam, and your friend does not).</p>
<p>	<script type="text/javascript"> google_ad_client = "pub-1891329266322353"; google_ad_slot = "7615906862"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; </script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
	</p>
<p>Some background on what has changed:</p>
<p>In the past, we offered two choices to start a video conversation with someone. You could either click “Video Call” or select “Show my webcam.” Video Call is the full-featured option that includes two-way video and audio. It is how most people expect video calling to work. Show my webcam was a one-way feature, where you could show your webcam’s video to your friend, without audio. This caused a lot of confusion, and our data showed users would often click “Show my webcam”, only to be surprised they didn’t have audio, and couldn’t see their friend. They would then attempt to turn these on separately. Furthermore, the two features used a different video code-path which made switching between these scenarios hard, and also made it hard for the team to make quality &amp; performance improvements to the scenario as a whole. In our latest update, we have simplified the command to just “Start Video Call”… If you have a webcam, but your friend does not, they will be able to see you and hear you, and you’ll be able hear them if they have a microphone. If you do not want to hear your friend, or do not want to share your audio, you can simply toggle the microphone icon next to your picture or the speaker icon next to your friend‘s picture. There are only really two aspects that are different: (1) it is no longer easy to hide your webcam’s feed if you have one enabled when you start a video call (you can still do this using the AV settings dialog). (2) You can no longer set up “webcam rings” with multiple people sharing silent video one-way. There are valid reasons to enable both of these scenarios, but their usage was very infrequent, and made both the user experience and the code overly complicated. This is why we have chosen to move forward with a simpler option. Please look for a post soon about our expanded video capabilities in Wave 4.</p></blockquote>
<p>With these — amazingly explanatory, by the way! — thoughts in mind, can you now understand why webcam is working differently in Messenger from now on?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mynetx/4618242550/" title="Video conversation in Messenger 2011 by mynetx, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3383/4618242550_9617352722.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Video conversation in Messenger 2011" class="aligncenter" /></a></p>
<p>With Windows Live Messenger 2011, webcam conversations are going to change. Up to now, you could view your contact&#8217;s webcam or let others view it, without launching a full video call. This is going to change soon.</p>
<p>In Messenger 2011 (Wave 4), you will start a video call whenever you choose to view or send webcam. Furthermore, the compression codec used to compress webcam data has been changed. Users with a slow web connection will notice worse quality. As preparation for the new Messenger, an <a href="http://download.live.com/messenger">update for Messenger 2009</a> has recently been released (Wave 3 Build 14.0.8117).</p>
<p>Wave 4 aims to go forward. Does Messenger go forward with these changes, or is it rather a step backwards? What do you think?</p>

<li>Check whether you have the latest Webcam driver installed.  Try finding the current one on the support homepage of your webcam manufacturer.</li>
<li>After you have upgraded your webcam driver, reboot your computer.</li>
<li>Finally, sign in to Messenger and launch the Audio Video wizard from the <em>Tools</em> menu.  Webcam should now work!</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“QFE” è l&#8217;abbreviazione di  <strong>Q</strong>uick <strong>F</strong>ix <strong>E</strong>ngineering. In questo post, evidenzierò le Note di Rilascio per  Essentials 2009 QFE2.  Allora, cosa è nuovo o cosa è cambiato?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-104" title="Windows Live Essentials" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/windowsliveessentials1.jpg" alt="Windows Live Essentials" /></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Finestra di conversazione di Windows Live Messenger: Cinese/Giapponese/Coraeno IME (Input Method Editor) si reimposta in Inglese nella finestra di conversazione di Messenger.</strong><br />
Su un computer con su installato Windows XP Sp2 o SP3, se ricevi un messaggio istantaneo mentre la finestra principale di Messenger è chiusa, e poi provi a scrivere caratteri Cinesi, Giapponesi o Coreani nella conversazione usando IME, la modalità input si resetta alla lingua Inglese e non potrai inserire caratteri Cinesi, Giapoonesi o Coreani. Per risolvere questo, riapri la finestra principale di Messenger e ricomincia a scrivere nella finestra di conversazione.</li>
<li><strong>Video: I settaggi e gli effetti per le webcam potrebbero non funzionare più e non appaiono per le webcam</strong><br />
Alcuni produttori di webcam offrono dei settaggi per le operazioni di camera o effetti che possono essere applicati al video attraverso Messenger. Con la nuova versione di Messenger queste opzioni potrebbero non funzionare più. Se non vedi nessun controllo di camera e nessuna icona per gli effetti sotto la tua immagine di Messenger durante una video-chiamata o una sessione webcam, consulta il produttore della tua webcam cercando un aggiornamento.</li>
<li><strong>Windows Live Mail: I certificati S/MIME devono essere ristabiliti</strong><br />
S/MIME (Secure/ Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) è una sicurezza standard per chiavi pubbliche di criptazione e la firma delle e-mail con un ID digitale o un certificato. Quando usi la funzione Secure Mail (certificati) di Windows Live Mail per inviare o ricevere posta, devi necessariamente ristabilire il tuo certificato S/MIME e i certificati di tutti i contatti coi quali scambi e-mail sicure.<br />
Puoi settare il tuo certificato personale S/MIME selezionando il certificato corretto in Windows Live Mail:</p>
<ul>
<li>In Windows Live Mail, clicca il tasto menu sulla barra degli strumenti, poi clicca  <em>Opzioni per la protezione</em>.<br />
Clicca la scheda <em>Protezione</em>.</li>
<li>Nella sezione <em>Protezione Messaggi</em>, clicca <em>ID Digitali</em>.</li>
<li>Nella finestra <em>Certificati</em>, seleziona il certificato che utilizzi per le tue mail S/MIME</li>
</ul>
<p>Puoi impostare il certificato per ognuno dei tuoi contatti aggiungendo il certificato alla tua lista contatti:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nella finestra principale di Windows Live Mail, seleziona un messaggio e-mail che hai ricevuto da un tuo contatto che include un certificato digitale.</li>
<li>Cliccca l&#8217;icona del certificato per quella e-mail.</li>
<li>Clicca <em>Visualizza certficitati.</em></li>
<li>Cliccca <em>Aggiungi ai contatti.</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Windows Live Movie Maker: non installato con Windows Live Essentials</strong><br />
Movie Maker richiede Windows Vista o Windows 7.  Se installi  Windows Live Essentials usando qualsiasi altro sistema operativo,  Movie Maker non verrà installato.</li>
<li><strong>Movie Maker potrebbe non partire correttamente con alcune schede video</strong><br />
Movie Maker richiede un uso estensivo del processore grafico. Un PC con una scheda video poco performante  potrebbe riscontrare problemi di rendering video e di effetti in Movie Maker.</li>
<li><strong>I video potrebbero non renderizzarsi se è installato Nero sul tuo PC</strong><br />
Alcuni programmi di Nero installano filtri che potrebbero andare in conflitto con Windows Live Movie Maker. Se riscontri questo problema, contatta il produttore del programma per verificare la disponibilità di un aggiornamento del loro software. Per una veloce scappatoia, puoi cancellare il NDParser.ax installato da Nero Ahead. Nota che sarà necessario ri-registrare NDparser.ax se vuoi che Nero funzioni di nuovo correttamente.<br />
Per cancellare o ri-registrare  NDParser.ax, segui questi passi</p>
<ol>
<li>Sul menu Start di Windows, clicca Tutti i Programmi, e poi clicca Accessori.</li>
<li>Click-destro sul Prompt dei Comandi e poi clicca Esegui come amministratore.</li>
<li>Scrivi: CD %programfiles%Common FilesAheadDSfilter e poi premi Invio.</li>
<li>Per cancellare o ri-registrare NDParser.ax, fai una delle due cose:<br />
a.  Per cancellare, scrivi: regsvr32 NDParser.ax /u e premi Invio.<br />
b.  Per ri-registrare, scrivi: regsvr32 NDParser.ax e premi Invio.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Movie Maker supporta solo font  TrueType</strong><br />
Movie Maker supporta solo le font TrueType. Se selezioni una font Raster, Movie Maker ritornerà alla font predefinita Arial.</li>
<li>Dopo aver aggiornato a Windows 7, non potrai scaricare foto da photos.live.com<br />
Per risolvere questo problema, è necessario riparare l&#8217;installazione di Windows Live Photo Gallery.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sul menu Start di Windows, clicca <em>Pannello di controllo</em>, clicca <em>Programmi</em>, clicca <em>Programmi e funzionalità</em>, e poi nella lista, clicca <em>Windows Live Essentials</em>.</li>
<li>Clicca <em>Disinstalla/Cambia</em>.</li>
<li>Click <em>Ripara,</em> e poi clicca <em>Continua</em>.</li>
<li>L&#8217;installer mostrerà il tuoi programmi Windows Live.</li>
<li>Chiudi tutte le istanze di Microsoft Internet Explorer, e poi riavvia Internet Explorer.</li>
<li>Apri tutti gli album che ti hanno dato problemi, e prova a scaricarli di nuovo.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Potresti riscontrare un errore se hai un file DLL in più nella tua cartella System32</strong><br />
Quando apri il Family Safety Filter su un computer su cui è installato un Windows XP potresti ricevere il seguente messaggio:<br />
“The procedure entry point IsThreadDesktopComposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll”<br />
Questo vuol dire che probabilmente è presente il file dwmapi.dll nella cartella System32 del tuo Windows XP. Per risolvere questo problema, rimuovi il file .dll usando questa procedura:</p>
<ol>
<li>Clicca su <em>Start</em>, e poi clicca su <em>Risorse del Computer</em>.</li>
<li>Doppio-click sul disco rigido C:.</li>
<li>Doppio-click sulla cartella <em>WINDOWS</em>, e poi doppio-click sulla cartella <em>system32</em>.</li>
<li>Trova il file <em>dwmapi.dll</em> e cancellalo.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Windows Live Family Safety: Nessun ID Windows Live necessario per i bambini</strong><br />
Family Safety può supervisionare anche gli account Windows. Non è necessario, per i genitori, registrare un ID Windows Live per tutti i bambino da supervisionare.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 20px 10px 0px" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/anguslogan3.png" alt="Angus Logan" width="131" height="127" align="left" /> Willkommen zu einem neuen Interview in der Sommerausgabe der Serie <em>„Windows Live und du</em>“! Heute habe ich einen besonderen Gast eingeladen, um mit ihm über seinen persönlichen Bezug zu Windows Live zu sprechen: heißen wir <strong>Angus Logan</strong> willkommen, Senior <strong>Technischer Produktleiter für Live-Dienste</strong> bei Microsoft.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9; clear: left"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Angus, ich freue mich, mit dir über Windows Live zu reden! Erzähl mir doch ein wenig über dich. Wie wirkt sich Windows Live auf dein tägliches Leben aus?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Wo soll ich anfangen… Ich bin Australier, lebe aber in den USA. Ich bin meistens in Seattle, doch ich reise auch viel. An den meisten Tagen arbeite ich mit den Entwicklern und Programm-Managern, oder unterhalte mich mit Kunden, damit wir auf jeden Fall die richtige Plattform schaffen, mit der Websites sich an Windows Live-Nutzer anschließen können.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Als Technischer Produktleiter ermöglichst du es Websites, sich an die 500 Millionen Menschen anzuschließen, die Windows Live nutzen, sagst du. Ist das eine befriedigende Arbeit, noch dazu spannend?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Mit einigen der weltgrößten Websites zusammenzuarbeiten, um sie mit bis zu 500 Millionen Menschen zu verbinden, ist ziemlich cool. Eine Killerfunktion und <em>– bam! –</em>, 500 Millionen freuen sich ein wenig mehr, das Internet zu benutzen.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Viele Leute kennen dich, doch ich denke, das war vor einiger Zeit noch nicht so. Seit wann bist du im Windows Live-Geschäft? Erzähl mir doch ein wenig über deine Vergangenheit.</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> In Australien hab ich für einige Microsoft-Partner und ein junges Unternehmen gearbeitet. Ich war ein Microsoft-MVP für Content Management Server, und das hat mir irgendwie eine Arbeitsstelle im technischen Vertrieb bei Microsoft Australien verschafft. Nachdem ich das einige Jahre getan hatte, entschied ich mich, meinen Blick auf Websites weg von der CMS-Infrastruktur, hin zu sozialen Plattformen zu wenden – das war vor ungefähr 2 Jahren.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Denkst du, dass das Windows Live-Team, einschließlich dir selbst, sich um die Fragen der Nutzer kümmert? Warum?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Mir ist noch nicht ein einziges Team bei Microsoft begegnet, das nicht ständig sein Augenmerk auf Kunden richtet (in diesem Fall, auf die 500 Millionen Menschen, die Windows Live nutzen). Wir müssen immer mit den Endbenutzern reden, denn wenn du jeden Tag innerhalb einer Softwarefirma an einem Produkt arbeitest – du hast dann einfach einen bestimmten Blickwinkel. Wir müssen unsere Gedanken immer testen, und Ideen sammeln, um Killerprodukte für „normale Leute“ zu schaffen (nicht nur für Technikbegeisterte).</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong><span id="more-775"></span>mynetx:</strong> Wo siehst du Windows Live innerhalb der nächsten fünf Jahre?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Es wird immer einfacher für mehr Menschen, zu kommunizieren, sich mitzuteilen und ihr Leben zu synchronisieren.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Läuft Messenger bei dir permanent? Hast du eine Art Routine mit Messenger und den anderen Elementen, die Windows Live ausmachen?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Das alles ist solch ein Teil meines Lebens, dass ich keine Routine habe – es ist einfach da. Ich nutze Messenger zum Arbeiten, ich nutze ihn zum Spielen, ich nutze ihn, um Leute zu finden mit denen ich mich zum Mittagessen verabrede, ich wache auf und schaue nach, ob ich nachts irgendwelche Nachrichten erhalten habe, ich lese die persönlichen Statusnachrichten meiner Freunde, und während ich mit Leuten chatte, … halte ich nach anderen Leuten Ausschau, mit denen ich chatten könnte.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong><a href="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/msgrwebtoolkit3.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px 30px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit Interactive SDK (klicken zum Vergrößern)" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/msgrwebtoolkit_thumb3.jpg" border="0" alt="Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit Interactive SDK (klicken zum Vergrößern)" width="244" height="178" align="right" /></a> mynetx:</strong> Wie groß ist der Markt für Web-Messenger – und welche Rolle spielt dabei das <a href="http://messenger.mslivelabs.com/">Messenger Web Toolkit</a>?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Das Web Toolkit bietet einen Weg, mit dem Messenger-Nutzer sich auf anderen Websites mit ihren Freunden verbinden können. Die Markt-Gelegenheit ist so groß! Jeder, der Sofortnachrichten nutzt, ist ein potenzieller Nutzer für Web-Messenger. Ich denke, dass Web-Messenger zusätzlich zu einem „normalen“ Messenger-Client genutzt werden müssen, sonst ist das Erlebnis nicht gut genug (z.B. Benachrichtigungen unten rechts).</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Wenn du deine Fantasie benutzt: wie denkst du, sieht Messenger in den nächsten fünf Jahren aus? Welche neuen Funktionen könne er anbieten?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Er ist in den letzten 10 Jahren so weit gekommen, wenn ich versuche mir vorzustellen, was in den nächsten 10 Jahren passiert, bekomme ich Kopfschmerzen. Alles was ich weiß ist, dass du dich damit immer noch mit den Menschen in Verbindung setzen kannst, die dir wichtig sind.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Wenn man diese Ideen mit den aktuellen Funktionen von Messenger vergleicht, welche könnten in der nächsten Version, Wave 4, eingefügt werden?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Guter Versuch <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  .  Du weißt, ich kann nicht über die Zukunft sprechen.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Bist du zufrieden mit den Windows Live-Diensten, die dir zur Verfügung stehen? Warum?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Obwohl ich mehr als zufrieden bin, denke ich, es gibt immer Bereiche, in denen wir weiterhin wachsen und innovativ sein können.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong><a href="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/webcamdynamicpicture3.jpg"><img style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px 25px 15px 0px; display: inline;" title="Dynamische Anzeigebilder von Webcam in Messenger 2009" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/webcamdynamicpicture_thumb3.jpg" border="0" alt="Dynamische Anzeigebilder von Webcam in Messenger 2009" width="208" height="244" align="left" /></a>mynetx:</strong> Welches ist deine Lieblingsfunktion in Messenger?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Dass ich Emoticons eigene Videos von mir zuweisen kann (dynamische Anzeigebilder). Das ist soooo genial (und macht Spaß!).</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Live Mesh – was war dein erster Eindruck davon? Siehst du darin Wege, wie man diesen Cloud-Dienst mit Messenger und den anderen Essentials verbinden kann?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Live Mesh hat mich schon immer beeindruckt, und noch mehr hat es die zugrunde liegende Plattform, das Live Framework, das den Erfindungsreichtum von Entwicklern regelrecht beflügelt hat.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Ist das Einstellen von Windows Live Events der erste Schritt in Richtung des Mottos von Wave 4, „Einfacher! Verbundener!“?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Ich arbeite nicht an Events, doch lies bitte auch: <a href="http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41244.entry">http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41244.entry</a>.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong><a href="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ocsoutlooksync3.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 30px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Outlook Kalender-Synchronisation in Office Communicator 2007 R2" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ocsoutlooksync_thumb3.jpg" border="0" alt="Outlook Kalender-Synchronisation in Office Communicator 2007 R2" width="240" height="191" align="right" /></a>mynetx:</strong> Wünschst du dir, dass Messenger eine Funktion hätte, die es in einem anderen Sofortnachrichten-Programm schon gibt?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Ja, das wird sich jetzt etwas hochgeschraubt an, aber… in <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicator/FX101729051033.aspx">Office Communicator</a> wird dein Status automatisch aktualisiert, abhängig von den Terminen in deinem Kalender, und er sagt deinen Kontakten, wie lange du noch beschäftigt bist. Das wäre so cool. Vielleicht sollte man es ein wenig mehr auf den Endbenutzer abstimmen, zum Beispiel, wenn du dir gerade eine TV-Serie auf Hulu ansiehst, könnten deine Kontakte darüber informiert werden, dass du in 15 Minuten wieder verfügbar bist (wenn die Folge zuende ist).</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Ich bin mir sicher, du hast von dem Aprilscherz gehört, den ich dieses Jahr machte, als ich über „mehr Chat-Netzwerke für Windows Live“ sprach. Wie viel von dieser Vision könnte sich bewahrheiten, laut deiner persönlichen Meinung?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Ich möchte über die Zukunft nicht spekulieren.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Was denkst du persönlich: werden separate Chat-Netzwerke weiterhin mit eigenständigen Protokollen existieren, oder ist es wahrscheinlich, dass diese ebenfalls standardisiert und verknüpft werden, wie bei so vielen anderen Dingen im Computer?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Lass uns das von einem anderen Blickpunkt betrachten – des Erlebnisses für den Benutzer. Wenn wir mal die 3 größten Sofortnachrichten-Netzwerke herausgreifen, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM. Sicher, diese 3 nutzen verschiedene Protokolle, doch weißt du was – das interessiert den Endbenutzer überhaupt nicht. Die Leute interessiert nur: „Cool, ich kann von Windows Live Messenger aus mit meinem Freund chatten, der Yahoo! Messenger nutzt“. Also, ja, ich denke, es wird immer unterschiedliche Netzwerke geben. Werden die Protokolle zusammengeführt (zum Beispiel XMPP)? Ich bin mir nicht sicher.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Als Messenger-Nutzer hast du bestimmt einen guten Tipp, von dem noch nicht jeder weiß, oder?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Mein bester Tipp ist, ein IM-Control aufsetzen und dann eine TinyUrl einrichten, zum Beispiel: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/talktoangus">http://tinyurl.com/talktoangus</a> (das ist nur ein Beispiel) – dann kannst du jemand, ja einfach sagen tinyurl.com/talktoangus.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Und schließlich, arbeitest du gerade an irgendeinem Projekt, das mit Windows Live zu tun hat?</p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Ich arbeite immer an Projekten in Verbindung mit der Windows Live-Plattform, und unterhalte mich mit vielen Kunden über das, was sie haben möchten, was funktionieren könnte und was nicht.</p>
<p style="color: #4b72a9"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Vielen Dank für deine Zeit, und dass du uns an deiner Meinung teilhaben lässt! <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Angus Logan:</strong> Gern geschehen!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This evening, C.N., a friend, told me about a problem with <strong>USB devices</strong> on Windows <strong>XP</strong> (SP3).  Whenever she wanted to connect a device with one of the USB ports, she could not use it—whether it was her mouse, her webcam or her digital camera.  She <strong>couldn’t even access her external hard drive,</strong> as it did not show up in “<em>My Computer</em>”.</p>
<p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Digital camera, thanks to istartedsomething.com" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/win7cam1.jpg" border="0" alt="Digital camera, thanks to istartedsomething.com" width="240" height="208" align="right" /> When I told her to open device manager with <em>Start, Run…, devmgmt.msc</em>, she stated that “<strong>Unknown devices</strong>” were listed there, with yellow exclamation marks.  I was wondering where to get their drivers, even asked for the original CDs in hopes to grab the needed drivers from there.  However, there was one thing I learned tonight: <strong>Simply let Windows do the search.</strong> My friend right-clicked the unknown device and chose “<em>Update driver…</em>”; then she clicked “<em>Install software automatically</em>”.  And voilà: the driver was <strong>found</strong>—something I would never have expected, as normally the system would have detected the devices automatically.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, this worked even for new devices.  When a camera was plugged in, the drive didn’t show up instantly, only an <em>Unknown device</em>.  Only when my friend used <strong>device manager</strong> to install the drivers (without having to browse for the driver file manually; automatic discovery was sufficient), everything worked.  Nearly.  Because—auto-play doesn’t work; that is, the <strong>Scanner and Camera Wizard</strong> does not open automatically on plug-in, although the settings in the device properties (“<em>AutoPlay</em>” tab) are correct.</p>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<ul>
<li>Plug &#038; Play does not work.  (The “Plug &#038; Play” system service is “Started” and “Automatically”.)</li>
<li>Manual driver setup with automatic search does work.</li>
<li>AutoPlay does not work.</li>
</ul>
<p>Any tips appreciated…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have a webcam, connect it to your computer, but Messenger doesn’t recognize it?  There are several tips you might try out.</p>
<ul>
<li>Restart Messenger.  The camera might appear now. </li>
<li>Doesn’t work?  Restart Windows, having the webcam plugged in (if external). </li>
<li>Is the cable connected correctly? </li>
<li>Look in “My Computer” (Windows XP) or “Computer” (Windows Vista).  Does your camera appear there?  Messenger might have a problem with your camera.  Contact the Windows Live team, including information about your webcam model. </li>
<li>Press Win+R.  Type “devmgmt.msc”, and look in the appearing “Device Manager”.  Your camera is not listed there?  Your computer might have problems with either the USB Host Controller or the webcam driver itself. </li>
<li>Did you recently upgrade Windows?  You might need a new driver version.  Check your manufacturer’s website for new drivers, using the exact name and model of your webcam.  If there is no recent driver—that’s bad. </li>
<li>Still no luck?  If you are using Windows XP: Open Internet Explorer, and navigate to Microsoft Update.  Check for “Custom search”, and look if there are any driver upgrades available from the “Hardware” section.  If you are using Windows Vista: Use the Windows Update applet in the Control Panel. </li>
</ul>
<p>It doesn’t work yet? Hmm, *scratches his head*.   <br />Maybe one of you guys got an idea. Feel free to leave a comment.</p>
<p><em>Thanks to C.N. for the idea to this post!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0 20px 10px 0" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/frankmaenz2.png" alt="Frank Mänz" width="65" height="65" align="left" />Today I’m presenting you someone with a special relation to Windows Live. I had the privilege to talk with <strong>Frank Mänz,</strong> Product Manager of the Windows Live Online Services Group in Germany about his personal experiences and opinion regarding Windows Live.</p>
<p style="clear: left; color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Nice that you are taking some time to talk with me about “Windows Live and You” despite your packed schedule…</p>
<p style="color: #25385F">For a start, it would be good if you could introduce yourself and your connection to Windows Live.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> At work, I use Windows Live as a Product Manager, while at home, I use it for communicating with my friends and family.  You could say my life revolves around Windows Live. <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> How long has it been since you started working with Windows Live?  Tell me a bit about your history.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Since forever—my beginning with Windows Live was when the first Microsoft Messenger was launched 10 years ago; to be honest, I don’t know if it were called MSN Messenger at that time; then MSN Communities and MSN Chat.  Just as Microsoft introduced “Windows Live” as a brand, I watched it as an outsider while working on the competition.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Competition?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> WEB.de / GMX for 1.5 years—</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> And how was United Internet for you, compared to Microsoft?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> It was an interesting experience. <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>However, Microsoft offers an essentially more interesting perspective with Windows Live, its products, and its services—for a Product Manager and, of course, for the users.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> How did you become responsible for the German market as a Product Manager for Windows Live Services?</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-295"></span>Frank Mänz:</strong> I was asked if I wanted to do that.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Sounds like a dream come true—?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> That is a sure thing!  Back then, that is, about two years ago, I was excited about Windows Live even as an “outer.”  As new products were announced, the services were becoming used growingly.  You want to be part of that.  Just what has changed in Hotmail over the last two years is … great!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> That’s true—much has changed.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> &#8230;and it&#8217;s to be continued!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Let’s talk a bit about your personal habits.  Messenger is running permanently, isn’t it? Maybe you’ve got some sort of a personal routine with Windows Live?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Yep, starting Messenger, checking e-mails; moreover, Messenger is running more or less constantly due to my work.</p>
<p>At home, I use Messenger very directly.  Subsequently, I am not “available” lastingly as my computer only runs when I really need it, Wireless is merely switched on also when needed.</p>
<p>Now, I am always posting videos of my little daughter in SkyDrive.  Some members of the family are currently in France and Canada and SkyDrive is an easy way of keeping them up-to-date.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="color: #25385F">What is your favorite feature in Messenger?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> That depends: Chatting with everyone, viewing photos with my parents, sending nudges and emoticons to irritate my brother, view webcam with friends; but essentially Messenger is for chatting.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> And which is the function you like most in the other Windows Live services/programs?</p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Send and receive e-mails from other accounts" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/popagg2.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="126" align="right" /><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> My favorite feature, and that&#8217;s new for all users, is “<a href="http://mail.live.com/mail/AccountList.aspx?n=1841345171">POP aggregation</a>”, meaning to “Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts” in Hotmail. Now I can check my WEB.de and GMX account online in Hotmail—everything is in one place in Hotmail with unlimited storage.  I find it great, so I set that up for all my friends who have problems with their 13 MB Freemail storage.</p>
<p>Another great thing is the address merger in Hotmail. Here, contacts’ data are compared and appear similar once merged.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I find the “full-screen” Diashow in Windows Live Photos to be great > it is fun to present your photos online this way.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Got to check that out as well! <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Link other accounts" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/linkacc2.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="208" align="right" /><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> The next great thing is that I can link several Windows Live accounts with each other. That is, you can sign in with account A and switch directly to account B, by just clicking on your name or icon top-right in Hotmail or Photos and then click “<a href="https://account.live.com/ManageLinks.aspx">Link with other accounts</a>”.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Yes, linking is a good solution that I myself use as well.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> It is fantastic that I also can use Windows Live on my own domain.  Just check out <a href="http://domains.live.com/">domains.live.com</a>, it is not that easy but it works.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Since Google Apps can only manage up to 50 users for free, Windows Live Admin Center has become more interesting…</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Yes, I can create 500 accounts on my own domain for free, all with unlimited e-mail storage etc.</p>
<p><img style="margin-right: 15px;" title="Live Labs Photosynth" src="http://livelabs.com/files/themes/labs/images/logo_color_photosynth.png" alt="" width="67" height="57" align="left" />Photo Gallery > Panorama Photos: I find that great too. Furthermore, I like the beta products very much: e.g. <a href="http://www.mesh.com/">Live Mesh</a>, or <a href="http://deepzoompix.com/">DeepZoomPix</a> or <a href="http://livelabs.com/photosynth/">Photosynth</a>. You have to check them out in any case—they are fun!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Live Mesh was Microsoft’s pioneer and the first visible result of the “Web 3.0”, so to say, Cloud Computing… is this the future technique?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> You could say so; I do not like “Web 3.0” and such phrases very much.  I think that such words do not mean anything to millions of users.  The focus must be on the usage and not on the catchphrases.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> That&#8217;s right.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F">If Messenger is so present in your daily life, maybe you have a tip that not everybody knows about?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Yes, because it is fresh: You can now invite contacts from other “networks,” like Facebook, to Messenger.  In Messenger, click on the icon “Add contact or group,” right next to the search box, and then choose “Add people from other services.”  —Or just try it out at <a href="http://profile.live.com/connect/?partner=Messenger">http://profile.live.com/connect/?partner=Messenger</a> .</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Select from your contact lists" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/importfb12.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="100" /> <img class="alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Facebook login" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/importfb22.jpg" alt="" width="182" height="100" /></p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Tell me about a function you fail to spot most in Messenger.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Travel using Messenger > Send myself through Messenger&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> How could that work? <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> See!  Messenger has what it should have—some details, just for new users, are missing—e.g. import features for contacts from other networks, but we are working on it right now.</p>
<p>And what is next to come: Choose my own sign-in sound.  That is, how it sounds for my contacts when I sign in.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Was that not part of the first Messenger 9 beta?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Do you know why it has been removed?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Application complexity—the team needed more time.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> “And what is going to come then”, you say—are the Signature sign-in sounds coming back?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> I hope so&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> According to your personal opinion, what will the Windows Live Team be adding to Wave 4, the next version of the Windows Live suite?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> In any case, the sharing and sync scenario, which is still being offered in different products now, is going to be combined.  Starting applications directly from the Web (cloud computing) as well as performance and new features will play a role.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Sounds interesting… do we have to wait long before a new beta arrives?  It’s very silent at the moment.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Sit back, relax and enjoy summer, sunshine and vacations.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> And finally: Which Live-related projects are you working on currently?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> New version of the <a href="http://messenger.live.de/Leute-treffen/Kontakte-finden.aspx">Messenger Online Treff</a>, and an integration of Messenger in MSN.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> We are looking forward to that!  Thank you for taking so much time talking with me. <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> You’re welcome, and I thank you as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0 20px 10px 0" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/frankmaenz1.png" alt="Frank Mänz" width="65" height="65" align="left" />Heute stelle ich euch jemand mit einem besonderen Bezug zu Windows Live vor. Ich hatte das Vorrecht, mit <strong>Frank Mänz</strong>, Produkt-Manager der Windows Live Online Services Group Germany, über seine persönlichen Erfahrungen und seine Meinung zu Windows Live zu sprechen.</p>
<p style="clear: left; color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Schön, dass du dir ein wenig Zeit nimmst um mit mir über „Windows Live und Du“ zu sprechen, trotz deines engen Zeitplans&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #25385F">Als erstes wäre es gut, wenn du dich und deine Verbindung zu Windows Live kurz vorstellen könntest.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Hauptberuflich beschäftige ich mich mit Windows Live als Produkt-Manager &#8211; privat, um mit meinen Freunden und der Familie zu kommunizieren. Mein Leben ist quasi Windows Live <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Seit wann hast du mit Windows Live zu tun? Erzähl mir doch ein wenig über deine Vergangenheit diesbezüglich.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Immer &#8211; mein Einstieg zu Windows Live war der Launch des ersten Microsoft Messenger vor 10 Jahren; ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht ob er damals schon MSN Messenger hieß; danach MSN Communities, MSN Chat. Gerade in dem Moment, als „Windows Live“ von Microsoft als Marke eingeführt wurde, war ich leider nur von „außen“ dabei und bei der Konkurrenz beschäftigt.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Konkurrenz?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> WEB.de / GMX für 1,5 Jahre -</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Und wie hat dir United Internet im Vergleich zu Microsoft gefallen?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Interessante Erfahrung <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Aber Microsoft bietet mit Windows Live und den Produkten und Diensten eine wesentlich interessantere Perspektive &#8211; als Produktmanager und natürlich für die Nutzer.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Wie kamst du zu der Aufgabe, als Produktmanager für Windows Live-Dienste für den deutschen Markt verantwortlich zu sein?</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-294"></span>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ich wurde gefragt, ob ich das machen will.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Hört sich ja wie ein Traum-Einstieg an &#8211; ?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ja klar, ich fand damals, also vor gut 2 Jahren, als „Außenstehender“ Windows Live schon sehr spannend. Neue Produkte wurden angekündigt, die Dienste wurden immer mehr genutzt. Da will man dabei sein. Allein was sich bei Hotmail innerhalb der letzten 2 Jahre gemacht hat &#8211; fantastisch!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Das ist wahr &#8211; getan hat sich einiges.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> &#8230;und es geht ja weiter!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Reden wir ein wenig über deine persönlichen Gewohnheiten. Messenger läuft sicher permanent, oder? Vielleicht hast du eine Art tägliche Routine mit Windows Live.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ja, Messenger starten, Mails checken; dann läuft Messenger mehr oder weniger immer beruflich eh immer.</p>
<p>Privat benutze ich Messenger sehr gezielt. Da bin ich nicht ständig „online“, da mein Rechner nur läuft wenn ich ihn wirklich brauche, WLAN auch nur wenn ich es brauche.</p>
<p>Zur Zeit poste ich immer Videos meiner kleinen Tochter in SkyDrive. Teile der Familie sind zurzeit in Frankreich und Kanada und die bleiben dann auf dem Laufenden.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="color: #25385F">Welches ist deine Lieblings-Funktion in Messenger?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Kommt drauf an: Chatten mit allen, Fotos anschauen mit meinen Eltern, Rings und Animoticons verschicken um meinen Bruder zu nerven, Webcam mit Freunden; aber im Grunde ist Messenger chatten.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Und welche Funktion magst du am meisten in den restlichen Windows Live-Diensten/Programmen?</p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="E-Mails von anderen E-Mail-Konten aus senden und empfangen" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/popagg1.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="126" align="right" /><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Mein Lieblingsfeature, und das ist für alle Nutzer seit kurzem neu, ist „<a href="http://mail.live.com/mail/AccountList.aspx?n=1841345171">POP-Aggregation</a>“ also „E-Mails von anderen E-Mail-Konten aus senden und empfangen“ in Hotmail. Jetzt kann ich meinen WEB.de und GMX Account in Hotmail online abrufen &#8211; alles an einem Platz in Hotmail mit unbegrenzten Speicher. Finde ich klasse, richte das auch allen Freunden ein die mit ihren 13 MB Freemail-Speicher Probleme haben.</p>
<p>Ansonsten was auch super ist ist in Hotmail der Adressenabgleich. Hier werden Kontaktdaten verglichen und gleiche zusammengeführt.</p>
<p>Außerdem finde ich die „Fullscreen“ Diashow in Windows Live Fotos super > macht echt Spass so online seine Bilder zu präsentieren.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Muss ich auch mal ausprobieren <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Mit anderen Konten verknüpfen" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/linkacc1.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="208" align="right" /><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ebenfalls toll ist, dass ich mehrere Windows Live Accounts miteinander verknüpfen kann. Also ich logge mich mit Adresse A ein und kann dann direkt auf Adresse B wechseln. Einfach mal rechts oben in Hotmail oder Fotos auf seinen Namen oder Icon klicken und dann „<a href="https://account.live.com/ManageLinks.aspx">Mit einem anderen Konto verknüpfen</a>“ klicken.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Ja, das Verknüpfen ist eine gute Lösung, die ich selbst auch nutze.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Fantastisch ist auch, dass ich Windows Live auf meiner eigenen Domain nutzen kann. Einfach auf <a href="http://domains.live.com/">domains.live.com</a> ausprobieren ist nicht ganz so einfach aber es geht.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Seit Google Apps nur mehr maximal 50 Benutzer kostenlos verwalten kann, hat Windows Live Admin Center auch an Reiz zugenommen&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ja, ich kann auf meiner eigenen Domain 500 Accounts kostenlos anlegen, alle mit unbegrenztem Email-Speicher usw.</p>
<p><img style="margin-right: 15px;" title="Live Labs Photosynth" src="http://livelabs.com/files/themes/labs/images/logo_color_photosynth.png" alt="" width="67" height="57" align="left" />Fotogalerie > Panoramafotos: Finde ich auch klasse. Ansonsten mag ich sehr die Produkte, die noch in der Beta sind: z.B. <a href="http://www.mesh.com/">Live Mesh</a>, oder <a href="http://deepzoompix.com/">DeepZoomPix</a> oder <a href="http://livelabs.com/photosynth/">Photosynth</a>. Die muss man unbedingt ausprobieren &#8211; die machen richtig Spaß!</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Live Mesh war bei Microsoft der Vorreiter und das erste sichtbare Ergebnis des „Web 3.0“, wenn man so will, Could Computing&#8230; ist diese Technik die Zukunft?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Wenn man so will ja, ich halte nicht allzuviel von Web 3.0 und solchen Begriffen. Ich denke, dass Millionen von Nutzern nicht viel damit anfangen können. Der Nutzen muss im Vordergrund stehen, nicht die Buzzwords.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Das stimmt.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F">Wenn Messenger so in deinem Alltag präsent ist, hast du vielleicht einen Tipp, den nicht jeder kennt?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ja weil neu: Man kann Kontakte aus anderen „Netzwerken“ z.B. Facebook in Messenger einladen. Man klickt im Messenger auf das „Kontakt oder Gruppe hinzufügen“-Icon, rechts neben dem Suchfeld, und wählt dann „Personen aus anderen Diensten hinzufügen“. &#8211; Oder gleich ausprobieren unter <a href="http://profile.live.com/connect/?partner=Messenger">http://profile.live.com/connect/?partner=Messenger</a> .</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Aus Ihren Kontaktlisten auswählen" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/importfb11.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="100" /> <img class="alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Facebook-Anmeldung" src="http://mynetx.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/importfb21.jpg" alt="" width="182" height="100" /></p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Nenne mir eine Funktion, die du am meisten in Messenger vermisst.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Reisen mit dem Messenger > Mich selbst per Messenger verschicken&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Wie soll das gehen? <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Eben! Ansonsten hat der Messenger, was er braucht &#8211; es fehlen ein paar Details gerade für neue Nutzer &#8211; z.B. bessere Importfunktionen für Kontakte aus anderen Netzwerken, aber da sind wir ja jetzt dran.</p>
<p>Und was dann kommen wird ist: Meinen eigenen Anmeldesound bestimmen. Also wie klingt es bei meinen Kontakten, wenn ich mich anmelde.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> War das nicht Teil der ersten Beta von Messenger 9?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Ja.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Weißt du, weshalb es entfernt wurde?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Komplexität der Anwendung &#8211; das Team brauchte mehr Zeit.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> „und was dann kommen wird“, sagst du &#8211; kommen die individellen Anmeldesounds zurück?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> I hope so&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Was denkst du persönlich, wird das Windows Live-Team für Wave 4, die nächste Version der Windows Live-Suite, in Angriff nehmen?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Auf jeden Fall wird das Sharing und Sync-Szenario, was im Moment noch auf unterschiedlichen Produkten angeboten wird, zusammengefasst. Anwendungen direkt im Internet starten wird eine Rolle spielen (Cloud Computing) und ansonsten Performance und neue Features.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Klingt interessant&#8230; müssen wir noch lange auf eine neue Beta warten? Es ist momentan sehr still.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Sommer Sonne Ferien kann man jetzt in Ruhe genießen.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Und zum Schluss: An welchem Live-bezogenen Projekt arbeitest du momentan?</p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Neue Version des <a href="http://messenger.live.de/Leute-treffen/Kontakte-finden.aspx">Messenger Online Treff</a>, und eine Integration von Messenger in MSN.</p>
<p style="color: #25385F"><strong>mynetx:</strong> Da können wir ja gespannt sein! Ich darf mich bei dir bedanken dass du dir soviel Zeit genommen hast. <img src='http://mynetx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Frank Mänz:</strong> Bitte gerne und ich bedanke mich.</p>
