Also it was advertised to remove duplicate contacts? But I still have  2 contacts (one facebook and one live messenger) for most of my contacts. And I can not 'merge' them in Windows Live Mail contacts view, and the webpage to do it is down (probably because it only works if you are allready on new hotmail, witch I am not).

Where do I need to give this feedback offically? Is there a connect site or something simular ?

Other than that seems to be a good all round release.

I now have 412 Facebook contacts (in Live Mail Contacts), altough i only have 234 friends on facebook. What gives? I don't want to see 'Ping' or 'What Homer simposon would look like if he was real' as a contact... It's just strange. And I also don't want them to show up in my social feed! I can't seem to hide them, and it does not seem to take over 'hiding' setting from facebook. I can only hide facebook in total ?

 If i click 'hide' next to a user update it does not hide it... It takes me to a Windows Live website, that asks me to enter the username again and then hides tries to hide it. But it does not find the username i clicked on (because it was from facebook).

1. How is the folder sharing experience different between Sync and SkyDrive?  And just out of curiosity, why isn't Sync using SharePoint as the underlying document storage platform as SkyDrive seems to be?

2. Is there a way to copy/move a file(s) between a "Synced Folder" on the cloud and a SkyDrive folder?

3. Will developers be able to take advantage of Sync for their app settings?  Btw, I think there should be a short description next each Program sync setting to indicate what it is that would be synced, if enabled.

We also just shot a video talking about the differences between Windows Live Sync and Live Mesh which will be up soon.

I have to uninstall it because I can't do mail anymore.

BTW, Gallery is extrememly hard to use. Sorting and Filtering takes different tabs. Which is really unintuitive. Wave3 was much much much much better. The search can be easily extended on Wave3. The tabs only makes me juggle around tabs a lot more often than I should. And it is simply confusing as the controls are deplicated and multiple places. And I often I have to switch tabs to find what I need.

Can't switch anyone away from Google Talk, so I am stuck using what they use

What about syncing Internet Explorer Feeds? My feeds in Windows Live Mail (it got them from IE) need to be the same accross my machines.

What about syncing read/unread status of different messages/feeds between Windows Live Mail clients? Seems like syncing settings in Live Sync needs a way to 'configure' to choose what to sync. Currently IE does not need this of cource because it only syncs favorits. I also dislike how the order of the items on my 'Favorites Bar' is not synced, only the items itself. I do understand why this is, it's just the files in a folder, that don't have an 'order' in that folder that Sync knows about.

Messenger keeps running in the background even after you right click and exit. If you start a new one, it creates another process in the task manager and that too stays running even after exit.

For some reason it linked up the wrong twitter account to my live account, I don't remember doing this myself but when I deleted it and tried to add it again, twitter was missing from the list of services. I read on some forum that they had recently removed twitter and had no timelines on adding it back. If you already have a twitter link then you are fine but you cannot add a new one which is weird.

Like CKurt said I was also hoping for RSS sync feature that would be enabled such that I can use Live Mail when available, else use an online reader (like google reader). May be integrate it with spindex.

Only a few programs now how to properly remove the noise.  RSSBandit shows new items as bold in the list, but only unread items in it's reading pane.
