Windows Live SkyDrive within Windows Explorer?
To add or download files from SkyDrive you need to login and add/download files from within a web browser.
You should be able to natively add/download files through Windows Explorer. It would also be good if support for folders was added as well.

Add a contact slider to messenger to resize our contacts on the fly
Why must we use a ugly old dialog box thats really dated just to resize the contacts? Let alone the old fashond way, of clicking radio buttons, clicking apply and clicking ok, just to see changes? Introduce a slider, much like the ones found in the vista/7 (more...)
I don't know why you did it this, way but make the next verson like this,

"Add to Network/Profile" needs a Resend Invite button...
I've got, probably, around 40 people that I requested an "add to my profile" back in the days when Spaces first introduced the concepts of friends (and nobody was using the feature). Well, a couple of years later, these people are now (more...)
Add in a "resend invite" option. Perhaps have this option become active a month after sending the request (to stop spamming, etc).

Bring back time line view in Windows Movie maker, as an optional view for those who want it.
In the new verson of movie maker, you seem to have removed time line view, the most critical part of a "movie making app" (how can you edit a movie with out knowing the exact time frame you are at the moment?)
So to make everyone happy, just add back Time Line view. Have it as a secondary "view" mode, so those who dont want to move to the new view can go back to the old view.
This,may bring movie maker, the most "popular" (more...)

[Messenger] Windows Live Messenger needs a Send button.
Sometimes, you just copy paste stuff with the mouse, but to send it you need to use the keyboard...really, really annoying. Especially when you're just sitting back and reading stuff.
Bring back the send button. Please. At least as an option.
It would be a much more useful option than some of the options that have been added to Messenger over the years.

Windows Live Toolbar adds unnecessary search bar by default, no option to remove it.
I have no grudges against this, I think there are some people that like two search bars, but this takes up a lot of space and looks real cluttered. It could be replaced by some other functionality, like a scrolling "what's new" etc.
Give an option to remove the search bar and disable by default.

I've been stuck trying to access my Hotmail account for ages using Safari on my Mac, and it has been so for ages.
I get stuck once accessing a folder, and I can't access any messages at all.
Supposedly it should work on (more...)

[Messenger] Clicking hyperlinks in conversations doesn't work half the time.
When a Messenger contact sends you a URL, clicking it in the conversation window often doesn't open the webpage, but just sets the text cursor where you clicked it. Repeated clicking does not help, you need to alt+tab to another window and alt+tab (more...)
Fix the conversation window so that hyperlinks are recognized as such.

"Suggest a Friend" is quite bad!
I'm not sure if it's because the system only looks at who is attached to your friends' profiles (rather than their messenger contacts, which might be so much more useful) but I've yet to find anybody I know in real life through this (more...)
Why not look at your contact's messenger lists too, or perhaps go the way of Facebook and allow you to suggest contacts and people to your friends. For example, if I add "Andy" to my profile, perhaps give me the option, at that point, (more...)

Opera Mobile version of mobile.live.com doesn't work
The mobile version of mobile.live.com does not work *at all* with Opera for Windows Mobile (which is installed on all new HTC devices - including HD, Diamond, Touch Pro, Sony Xperia and Samsung Omnia). Instead you see the desktop version of mobile.live.com.

Should just be a matter of tweaking the browser definitions.

I don't have an "official" Windows Live address (@msn, @live, @hotmail, etc.) but I have associated a Windows Live Passport to my existing email account. But with this, I don't have email service with Windows Live, so when clicking (more...)

[Messenger] Display Pictures do not save selected size
When you set the display size of Display Pictures in a conversation window to Small, the size is not saved. When you close the conversation window, the Display Pictures return to Medium.
(On a side note, why is it "Medium" and (more...)
Make it so display pictures save their size.
(And while you're at it, rename Medium to Large?)
