Clean SkyDrive URLs

Submitted by nifke on January 16, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

My SkyDrive URL is too long. When I want to share it I need to look at the website first and copy paste it because I can't remember the long range of characters in the url.

Instead of (more...)

Making the URL shorter and more readable with your name, nickname instead of a long ID number

Windows Live Mail .eml, vintage icon

Submitted by formula_86 on February 3, 2010 to Aesthetics, Icons, Legacy

When you save an email message as an .eml draft file, the file type icon looks rather outdated.

Have it so that the icon used is exactly the same as Windows Vista's Windows Mail .eml file type icon.

Smooth momentum scrolling in Live Mail's Calendar

Submitted by Chaztheman on February 8, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

When scrolling through the calendar with the mouse, it jumps to the day below which, and when it reaches the end of the screen it jumps and the screen shows the next month.

Scrolling should not scroll the selected day but instead scroll through all the days smoothly with momentum (like picasa, or iphone momentum scrolling) with no 'jumping' to the next page.

Messenger's default smileys can't be changed

Submitted by Aethec on January 24, 2010 to Annoyance

You can't change WLM's default smileys.
It's annoying because sometimes you find really good smileys, but you can't really use them since ":-)", ":-(", etc are already used.

Allow us to change the default smileys, and maybe add a "Reset default smileys" button.

Make the next/previous month more obvious in Live Mail's Calendar

Submitted by Chaztheman on February 8, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

When viewing the calendar in month view, it is not clearly obvious where the month starts an finishes without reading the numbers. You should just be able to SEE all the days in the month.

Make the squares of each month alternating in shade (more subtle than my image!) Or outline the month.

when clicking "sign in... " at the tray icon, messenger opens main window, it doens´t sign in.

Submitted by marvinduran on February 6, 2010 to Annoyance

The tittle pretty much describes the problem. Why does the main window have to pop up when I have both my email and password saved? It should just sign in minimized.

None.

[Website Suggestion] Make this site use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does

Submitted by formula_86 on February 7, 2010 to Aesthetics

The Seoge UI font is used widely across the Windows Live products, so why can't this actual site use the Segoe UI font?

Update this site to use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does.

Auto-save feature for Windows Live Movie Maker

Submitted by formula_86 on February 8, 2010 to Annoyance, Usability

Its annoying if you have been working on a large movie project in Windows Live Movie Maker, you have spent literally ages tweaking and customising the whole project to your liking, forgot to save your project, then it either randomly freezes up or displays (more...)

Add an auto-save feature like in the old Windows Movie Maker.
