just so you know it is not 2013, it still says 2012, I am testing it out now to see if it still has the group contact problem,
will let you know

I only tested it once, but I want to give it a few days and see if this is the reason they updated it because this was a big problem, I will let you know if it is really fixed in a few days once I have had a chance to really test it

I am wondering if the reason they updated was to change the name from skydrive to onedrive on most of the essential programs, I hope this was not the only change

That is the only change I saw.

What I really want Microsoft to do is get rid of Messenger from the installer and put Skype on that.

Hi, is it just me or this new version actually re-enables MSN? Before that update I couldn't lauch MSN but now I can again, no more "go download skype" message...what is Microsoft thinking?

I would have liked them to fix the group contacts send. I have not had a real chance to test it yet,but time will tell

Really? I don't use messenger anymore so I did not know that!
