installed the latest beta.. so ...

so now I should have a roaming display picture? DO I have to do anything
special?
I saw the new contact card... not very useful for me...

What else do I have roaming? What else is new in this build? any improvment
on
shared folders?

thanks

Greetings,

Nope, roaming should just work, assuming the server that holds this info is up (it's been
down before).

There's a new storage format and emoticons/display pictures are once again transplantable (so
you can back them up, move them to other PCs, etc.).

And there's a bunch of fixes specifically for Vista since 8.0 doesn't work all that great on
the new OS.

bluemountain before) ? Are they also transplantable?

The new contact card is intended to have a link to Windows Live OneCare, but
at this stage I don't think the subscription is unified in the database.
