I talked to Paul Major, Director of Windows Live Hotmail, on Friday to
clarify some of the
details of the announcement:
-next, and as we reported at LiveSide, a new beta to be known as Windows
Live Mail will be made
available "in the coming weeks" and will be the successor to both Outlook
Express and Windows
Mail in Vista as Microsoft's free desktop email client. Major said that
anyone using the
Windows Live Mail desktop beta will be familiar with "Windows Live Mail",
but how much this new
beta will be different from current builds of WLMd remains to be seen.
Major said that in the
future Windows Live Mail will be the only supported free email client, and
all development work
going forward will only be on Windows Live Mail.
(So, what was Windows Live Mail is now Windows Live Hotmail, and Windows
Live Mail desktop is
now Windows Live Mail, and Outlook Express and Windows Mail (in Vista) are
being phased out.
Wonder if there's a Live Maps Collections for the name changes??)
