A “mysterious” counter has appeared on Microsoft properties around the web (and now on Mess.be as well) which counts down to November 7th (0:01 AM). The included images of a letter, an emoticon, a folder and a photograph, are enough a hint that this countdown refers to the official launch of Windows Live Wave 2, and that we can expect the final versions of Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery, Family Saftey, etc. within about 30 hours.
This includes, of course, the final release of Windows Live Messenger 8.5, although the lack of Beta-tags in the most recent version made it look as if it was already out of beta. Let’s hope the issues covered in the knowledge base articles posted earlier today will all be fixed.
There’s another big thing all set to launch at the same time, but we’ll have to leave you in the dark about that one for a little longer. Just keep an eye on this space for all the news.
Windows Live, Messenger, Live Messenger, MSN, Microsoft
