This morning I received this email:
From: The Windows Live Beta Team
Subject: Join the Windows Live Mail Desktop beta
Hello Windows Live beta tester,
Because you've been so helpful to us by testing other betas, we thought you
might like to try out Windows Live Mail Desktop. It's a lot more than just
another e-mail program. It gives you one place to get e-mail from multiple
accounts, read and manage your newsgroups and Web feeds, update your blog,
and even call your friends' telephones.
A bit more about what this program will let you do:
Share your digital photos
Create a custom slideshow that your family and friends can view on the Web,
without a bunch of clunky attachments.
Get content feeds
Subscribe to Web feeds from your favorite news sites or blogs using Internet
Explorer 7 and then read them in Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta, just as if
they were e-mail messages.
Connect with your friends by phone, video call, or instant message
Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta works with Windows Live Messenger 8.0, so you
can see your contacts' online status when you read their e-mail messages,
and then IM them, start a video call, or even call their telephones at
affordable rates using services provided by Verizon.
Below, you will find complete instructions to become part of the Windows
Live Mail for Desktop beta.
Thanks again for you help. We couldn't do it without you.
Best regards,
The Windows Live Mail Desktop beta team
