This looks good. I had to dump Live mail because my iPhone wouldn't sync contacts with it. I know that is Apple being...well Apple, but still not real useful for me. I do like the fact that MS allows you download it and use it for free!

Paul Thurrott as www.winsupersite.com has now written a fairly large review of Live Essentials Wave 4 over at http://www.winsupersite.com/live/wlwave4.asp

Looks pretty good to me!!

yeah but

Note: At the time of this writing, Windows Live Essentials wave 4 is in early beta and does not exhibit the performance or stability that one would expect from a final, shipping product.

So hopefully any performance and reliability issues will be sorted by the time it's released

Thats their plan. I don't think they will release UNTIL it is stable and has decent performance.

All the programs look great, but I love what they've done with Photo Gallery and Sync. It's about time Sync got a real UI, rather than being a context menu with settings...

They used "Kitchen-PC" as a PC example for it. Ever since I've seen them doing that, like in the Windows setup for choosing a PC name and Kitchen-PC was an example, I've always thought "Who has a PC setup purely in the kitchen?".

Well someone must have a need for a Kitchen Sync

i have three in my kitchen, they are called 'kitchen', 'chef', and 'toaster'.

they are there simply for convenience, as i have lots of spare space, power points and a handy table.

i don't do much with them, 'kitchen' has a large number of hard drives in it and acts as a file server, 'chef' is my one remaining xp machine, and 'toaster' has a heating problem and needs a new fan.

very good!:roflmao:
