Windows 7 Broadscale Windows Live Wave 3 beta begi

Based on the independent LiveSide.net website that tracks all things Microsoft-Live-related, Microsoft is kicking off the official Windows Live Wave 3 family members of betas on September 17 — and they have a download link from Microsoft.com to prove it.Wave 3 is the newest release of the core Windows Reside suite of software and services. In the new suite, unified via a common installer,Genuine Office 2007, are updated versions of Windows Reside Messenger instant-messaging; Windows Reside Mail (with a new and improved Reside Calendar); Windows Reside Writer blog-posting tool; Windows Live Movie Maker; Windows Live Photo ##############, the Family Safety parental control tools and the Outlook Connector.Microsoft has been planning and crafting Windows Reside Wave since at least August 2007,Office 2007 Standard, as detailed in an internal Microsoft planning memo that I included as part of the supporting documentation for my Microsoft 2.0 book.As I;ve noted previously,Genuine Windows 7, Windows Live Wave three and Windows 7 are being designed to be tightly integrated from the get-go. Does that mean the final versions of Windows Reside Wave 3 and Windows 7 will coincide? I;m not sure,Office 2010 Home And Student, but I;d bet Live Wave three will go gold some time in early 2009,Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, while Windows 7 will cross the finish line toward the latter part of next year.For reviews of each of the individual Reside three services, check out LiveSide.Update: The new Windows Reside Wave 3 betas are publicly downloadable from Microsoft now.
