I get this question a lot from folks testing and using the Windows Live apps and services: How do I submit feedback?

There are several really good options users can use to submit feedback for Windows Live. I’m going to showcase those options here.

1. Windows Live - Send Feedback (feedback.live.com). Users can go to feedback.live.com and choose from the list of available Windows Live applications and services to leave feedback for. This site is open to *anyone*. Each team has a mechanism internally for taking in this feedback or suggestion as they continue their work. Once you click on a specific app or service - you will be directed to a feedback for to fill out.

2. Windows Live Product Team Blogs. Almost all the Windows Live apps and services have an official team blog you can visit to read the latest from their team about their product. This can also be a great place for leaving feedback. Many of these blogs allow for comments. You can leave feedback and suggestions through leaving a comment on their blog (all you need to do is log in with your Windows Live ID). How do you find all the team blogs? Simple. I have created a special page specifically for all the Microsoft Team Blogs that exist. You can see the list of Windows Live blogs here. The Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Mail teams even have a blog specifically set up for email support. You can also visit the new Windows Live Wire blog for all the Windows Live blogs as well.

These two options are available to anyone wanting to leave feedback on the Windows Live applications (such as Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Writer) or the Windows Live web services (such as Windows Live SkyDrive, Windows Live Hotmail, and Windows Live Spaces).  

Please take note: in leaving feedback either through feedback.live.com or a specific Windows Live product blog - try to be constructive in the feedback you leave. Saying “this product sucks” is not constructive feedback. Instead - try explaining why you feel the product or service is not working for you and what you think they could do to make it better. This kind of feedback will help the Windows Live teams plan and ship changes, enhancements, and features that will be the product or service better for everyone. Not to sound cliché but - you can make a difference.

In writing about the Windows Live apps and services here - both Nick and I try to relay as much feedback via our comments as possible to the specific Windows Live teams as well.

Microsoft continues to roll out the chunks of code that will be included in SP1. This one doesn’t replace any existing hotfixes, but does cover one documented issue, and two previously undocumented issues, and includes code from an August security update (MS07-047).

Here are the issues that are resolved in this update:

• When you run multiple instances of Windows Media Player, the media library database of Windows Media Player may become corrupted. The next time that you start Windows Media Player, the media library will be empty. Then you must rescan the drive and set up your library again. For example, this issue may occur when you run a stand-alone instance of Windows Media Player and an embedded instance of Windows Media Player in Internet Explorer.
• When you try to add some files to the media library or when you try to index the files by using Windows Desktop Search, the process may stop responding.
• In the Japanese version of Windows Media Player 11, some words are inappropriately or incorrectly translated. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Homeowners are being invited to share their internet connections with passers-by in return for the right to access the network via other people’s connections.

The attempt to expand the nation’s wi-fi network will mean that anybody with one of the latest mobile phone handsets, such as the Apple iPhone and some BlackBerrys, can access the internet through the front window of a participating home. People who sign up to the scheme, announced by BT and FON, a Spanish internet company, will be able to access the net through other people’s broadband connections and through BT’s 2,000 wi-fi hotspots. A typical home broadband router, which transmits the wireless signal, has a 30m range, making it easy for passers-by to “piggyback”.

Existing BT broadband subscribers will be able to join the scheme free of charge. Those with other providers need to pay a one-off £30 fee for a FON router, after which they can share their connection and access the internet whenever their phone is in one of the other residential hotspots.

There are now more than 10,000 wi-fi hotspots across Britain, the majority at airports, railway stations and cafés, but almost all are paid-for services, starting at about £6 an hour, or £10 for a day’s access. The thinking behind the new scheme is that, as more mobile phones are able to access the net via wi-fi, there will be demand for free internet access on such devices, so that popular services, such as music downloads, do not take so long. Accessing the web via a mobile phone network can be painfully slow.

Currently about 3 per cent of telephones in Europe have wi-fi capability but that figure is expected to grow to more than 40 per cent in the next three years, according to the analysis company Gartner.

FON would not say how many British residents were already signed up to its network, but it said that as soon as the number reached 50,000, the service would start to be useful.

Sceptics said that it was unlikely that people would be in the shared hotspots, predominantly residential streets, when they wanted to use free wi-fi, and that quality control would be difficult to maintain. Security experts also said that there could be significant risks for consumers in opening their home broadband connections. Paul Vlissidis, technical director of the security company NCC, said: “Wild horses would not get me to sign up to this. It is not just the risk of having personal details taken. What about if someone starts downloading child pornography via my connection? Am I implicated?”

Diego Cabezudo, FON’s chief operating officer, said that the public and private parts of the connection were kept completely separate and that visitors could not access documents stored on the homeowner’s computer.

That’s right! Windows Vista can run using a total of zero system memory. Well, bear with me, it will all make sense in the end. When it first introduced Windows Vista, Microsoft faced criticism because of the system requirements associated with the new platform. And the truth of the matter is that Vista is nothing short of a resource hog. The latest operating system from the Redmond company will eat right through CPU cycles, and will swallow every last bit of Random Access Memory you can throw at it. Vista will hesitate little to consume all the resources at its disposal in order to deliver the high-end performance level and user experience synonymous with the Wow.

The system requirements for Vista are divided according to SKU. There are the recommended minimum hardware requirements valid for Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter editions, and then the standard is raised when it comes to the Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate SKUs. According to Microsoft, Vista can go as low as an 800-MHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor and 512 MB of RAM. But this does not mean that users cannot feed some 3.5 GB of RAM into 32-bit editions of Vista and up to 128 GB in the 64-bit versions. (more…)
