Windows Live Essentials updated to build 14.0.8064.0206

[Slimy]

After moving the Wave 3 version of Windows Live Essentials out of beta last month, Microsoft has now updated specific applications in the suite. Windows Live Essentials, which refers to the suite of Windows Live client applications (as opposed to Web services), consists of a long list of software: Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Writer, Toolbar, Family Safety, Office Live Add-in, and Silverlight. Movie Maker remains in beta but its build has changed along with every other application (grab the new build from download.live.com.

• Messenger: 14.0.8064.206 (previous build was 14.0.8050.1202)
• Mail: 14.0.8064.206 (previous build was 14.0.8050.1202)
• Photo Gallery: 14.0.8064.206 (previous build was 14.0.8051.1204)
• Movie Maker beta: 14.0.8064 (previous build was 14.0.8051)
• Writer: 14.0.8064.206 (previous build was 14.0.8050.1202)
• Toolbar: 14.0.8064.206 (previous build was 14.00.8052.1208)
• Family Safety: 14.0.8064.0206 (previous build was 14.0.8052.1208)

The new builds only have bug fixes and while I was hoping that Messenger functionality with the Superbar would be fixed, it has not been.

thanks i can see no changes
why dont they allow us to star messenger in taskbar tray

To be able to have messenger start up in the task tray go to properties/compatibility and run it in vista mode. That way it will start up in the task tray. Hope this helps.
