Change home.live.com in to www.live.com

Wrote on November 17, 2009, 3:31pm

People have old devices and shortcuts and homepages that used to use the live.com search engine. It may have been a poor decision to dedicate the brand to their search engine, but they're stuck with it for now. It needs to continue redirecting to its replacement, Bing.

Not that many people use Windows Live, so it's a secondary concern for now.

[Messenger] Change 'Appear offline' to 'Appear unavailable'

Wrote on November 17, 2009, 3:25pm

No, you're talking about different things.

"Available" is in contrast to "Busy" or "Out to Lunch", "Away", 'Idle", or whatever. All are Online statuses.

"Appear Offline" is exactly what it says, I don't want it to be seen that I'm logged in to Messenger.

So Online/Offline... Available/Busy. Those are the complements, and they match.

Calendar and Contacts - separate Programs

Wrote on March 19, 2009, 1:28pm

@technogran, actually right now when you're in the Mail program, if you click Contacts a separate window launches, which is not really "combined". So the way it is now, we have neither tight integration or a quick way to open the Contacts window

[Suggestion] Windows Live Center Jumplist (Vista/7 only)

Wrote on March 15, 2009, 7:00am

Thing is, I don't believe that's what they would call a jumplist... a jumplist would be something attached to an app on the taskbar and is implemented with very specific APIs. Your mockup (which looks nice) would be more like the dialogs for Network Connections or Power that we see in the notifications area. That means this could work in Vista and I think even XP, while jumplists are specific to Windows 7.

That centralized thing is a good idea though. The mockups are good. Basically I'm saying you should edit the title.

Launch applications in Windows Live Mail separately

To Chris who like the way it is now: Nothing would change for you, you click the Mail shortcut in your start menu or taskbar or wherever, and the Mail Tab opens. I just want for when I click a Calendar shortcut the Calendar tab to open.
