M9 is Live!
Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of watching another PM on my team work with the Customer Support team and Operations to gauge customer satisfaction and look for any signs of problems on M9. Watching them do their thing leads me to just one conclusion: they rock! After two weeks of 24/7 monitoring, I’m happy to announce on their behalf that M9 is stable and is cruising along just fine.
Now that it’s out there, let me highlight what I feel is the biggest improvement in this milestone: Windows Live Mail is faster. I’ve heard echoes of this on blogs and comments all over the place, so I’m glad you guys are feeling the speed too.
Aside from that speed boost, I also encourage you to check out the Classic experience, which allows you to:
- Read, find, and sort your email and contacts faster than ever
- Choose contacts quickly when composing a message by using the Contact Picker (this shows up on the right side of the compose page, letting you add recipients to your message with a single click)
- Tweak Windows Live Mail to use your favorite color
- Find information about your contacts quicker using alphabetized contacts filtering
- Write professional-looking emails with the rich-text editor
- Reply, forward, and delete messages easier with a toolbar that appears below each message (don’t worry, we still kept the top toolbar =])
The Full experience also has some new features, three of which I want to mention here:
- Sort and search your messages easier with additional options
- Make your emails stand out with message importance indicators
- Interact with Windows Live Mail better with an improved context menu (which appears when you right-click on a message in the message list, for example)
Both the Classic and Full experiences also have:
- Support for importing and exporting your contacts
- Updates to the Today Page
- Detail-oriented improvements on the user interface
Thanks to all of you who have forwarded feedback and comments. Please keep it up! As usual, keep your eyes on this blog for the latest!
Benjamin Poon
Windows Live Mail Program Manager
P.S. For those who are using the Windows Live Mail full experience, but prefer to use the fast and simple Classic experience, here’s how to switch:
- Click the “Options” dropdown on the upper right of your screen
- Choose the “More Options…” menu item
- Click the “Click here to use the classic version, which is good for slow connections.“ link

GEORGE VLOSICH Etch-A-Sketch Man
ART NEWS
GEORGE VLOSICH - Etch-A-Sketch Man
This is about the Etch-A-Sketch artist George Vlosich. I can always remember Etch-A-Sketches when I was a kid. I can remember my parents buying me one every year for christmas. But I could never do anything on them, and still can't. When I came across this artist, I was amazed what he could achieve with an Etch-A-Sketch. Apparently he started when he was just 10 years old. He went to Washington with his Etch-A-Sketch and drew the capital on it, and that's how it all started. Now at 27 he's world famous. His subjects range from portraits of famous people to baseball players. He has been on TV and radio and featured in over 250 newspapers all over the world. Apparently it takes him around 50 to 55 hours to complete a picture. Today, he still does demos of his work to people at the cooperstown baseball of fame, prints and originals are for sale.
I have to say not anybody can do this type of art, me for one. But it's amazing what people can do with different things you wouldn't expect from. Enjoy his work.

“Dear Messenger”
 posted by Steve
Hi out there! Welcome to my first MessengerSays blog posting. I’m the new guy, Steve, and my role on the messenger team is to process all the comments, letters and other missives we get from a quarter of a billion (would that be one deci-Sagan?) customers – and make sense of it all.
By the way, we do get and read pretty much every single piece of feedback we get. But that’s another topic for another post down the road.
There’s another way to reach us, too, and that’s through technical support. Support’s a little different. A customer has a problem and needs some information that they can’t find in the help pages. This is supposed to be a dialog. The support page asks for your email. It asks for greater detail about the specific nature of what you’re having trouble with. And if your issue is unique enough to be something we don’t have a ready answer to, you wind up swapping emails with one of our support techie peeps – top notch folks who KNOW this system inside and out. Great for you ‘cause you get your problem fixed and great for us because we learn more about the complex and unique ways one deci-Sagan’s worth of customers use our product.
I’ll answer the first question first. Feedback is intended to be used for things like new feature requests: “Hey, you guys thought about doing this...?” Think of it as suggestion box (gee, maybe we ought to rename it that?!) And as with any suggestion box, the input is valuable but nothing ever comes back saying, “Yeah, we got that, we hear ya.” Even though we definitely do.
What goes in support?
“Yo! I can’t log in!” “My buddy list won’t come up.” “My display picture’s green and I look like Ugly Betty.”
You get the picture. It’s the place to go for issues which you can’t find in our extensive (and growing, we heard you when you told us to make that bigger and friendlier!) help pages.
As to the second question, yeah, there ought to be just one place to send “stuff” to the Messenger team. Ideas, complaints – and *gasp* even praise. By the way, THANK YOU for sending kudos our way, we tremendously appreciate hearing how much you love Messenger. Particular thanks to the very touching letter from the person who recently lost her hearing and now uses messenger to communicate with her sister and kids. Woah. Very cool.
But yeah, all that kinda stuff should go in one big bucket and we Microsofties should sort through it and figure out what’s support related and what’s feedback. We hear ya. We’re moving in that direction but these things take time.
So for now – rule of thumb: Support if you want a response. Feedback if it’s just a suggestion.
Now, how do I get support? Well, first you have to use our help system. Search for and read the pages which relate to your problem. Chances are really good that the answer's there already. If not -- and this shouldn't happen very often -- then click all the way down in the lower right hand corner "Get additional help" That will bring up a page of additional help options -- and Get Technical Support will be one of those options.
Ciao for now! February, 2007

Sending photos to your space (mobile)
Mobile Spaces all the way.. 
Sending photos to your space
Several days ago we made uploading photos taken with your camera phone to Spaces more powerful. In the past you could post them only to your blog. Now you can also post photos directly to photo albums. You can do it as long as your phone allows you to send e-mail. There are two ways to set up the feature: from the PC site and from the mobile site.
If you are on the PC just go to your space (make sure that you’re signed in), go to Options, then E-mail publishing, and at the bottom of the page you’ll see a list of e-mail addresses for photo albums in your space. Each email address has the following format:
Member_name.Keyword_of_your_choice.Secret_word@spaces.live.com.
By default the keyword is a GUID, but you can change it to any string that you want. Then just add the email address to your phone’s address book and you can start sending photos to the photo albums in your space.
Another way to enable the feature is from the mobile site. Just go to http://mobile.spaces.live.com in your mobile browser, sign in and go to your space. From there, navigate to the photo album to which you want to post photos and select “E-mail publishing.” You’ll be given an e-mail address for that photo album (once again, you can change the keyword used in the email address to anything that you like).
One more note: if you want to post photos to a completely new album you can do it too. Just go to your space in the mobile browser and select the link to “Add an album”. Then save the email address generated for that photo album to your address book and you're all set.
PS. According to Telephia’s research Windows Live Spaces are #2 in the UK and #3 in the US among the sites receiving mobile-generated content.
