Nice job guys.

So does this mean that there will be a new Movie Maker or is it already available? I can't find anything online yet that looks new.

It's not out yet; this is all part of the Live "Wave 3" from what I can tell. It's coming soon but I don't know the date.

Oh jez Brian, that made you sound like Jesse Liberty.

(Sorry Brian/Jesse, you guys know I only meant that in a good way.)

Ha! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I exchanged mails with Jesse about an hour before I filmed this show. But believe it or not it was a completely unrelated topic.

Seriously, though, I honestly do not know when the Live Wave 3 stuff is due to ship. Maybe I can get our friend Angus Logan to chime in here.

I know the dates because we're working with one of the WL teams on something for Channel 9, but I don't know if we're allowed to share the dates. Bring on Angus.

Quick! Somone get the tape and chloroform!
Wait...We'll probably need a bottle of Brandy too.

Yeah I heard back from Angus via email (he's on the road or else I'm sure he'd have replied here). Unfortunately mum's the word on Live Wave 3 launch dates.

wisemx, onto your plan...

I'm most surprised about the fact that Movie Maker will allow uploading to YouTube. I was totally ready for them to only support their own stuff or their partner's stuff, pretending that YouTube doesn't exist.

Speaking purely as a MSFT shareholder, I am perfectly happy to let YouTube/Google continue to foot the bill for the world's home movies.

This is a great article:

Ooooooo Good point.
I've been asked if some of my Msft Webcasts can be put on YouTube...Now I know why. lol

And speaking as a Microsoft customer, I'm happy to finally see Microsoft letting me deal with my stuff they way I want it, not the way Microsoft wants me to want it.

Dan off sick... Wasn't anything to do with Warhammer Online Open Beta was it?

LOL Jas,

Actually, I got sick from Max Zuckerman who came into work sick and infected me so I figured it would be best to work from home primarily so I don't get other co-workers sick.

That being said, I *am* excited about Warhammer Online. I just got a beta key, but apparently the servers are being updated so I may not be able to play tonight.

I'm playing a marauder though

Now that I'm in the game properly (After a bit of an EU open beta disaster), I've gone for the Disciple of Khaine.

To me, it does have the startings of a WoW beater
