Windows Live Mail Beta

Já está disponível para download o Windows Live Mail Beta. Recorde-se que o anúncio desta nova versão do cliente de mail da Microsoft, seguiu-se ao lançamento oficial do Windows Live Hotmail.

O Windows Live Mail é suposto substituir o Outlook Express, o Windows Mail que acompanha o Windows Vista e ainda o já defunto Windows Live Mail desktop.

Uma interface gráfica melhorada e um melhor desempenho são os grandes argumentos para instalar esta nova versão. Eu já experimentei e, até agora, estou satisfeito.

Para mais detalhes sobre este novo produto, leia o post Windows Live Mail Beta now available for download!
