The Windows Live team released a public beta of the latest innovations in the Windows Live product family.All products have undergone updating and there are also some new things like the Windows Live Sync service.

This Sync service is something I’m looking forward to since I was a user of the Microsoft Live Mesh program. I stopped using Live Mesh because I reached my storage limit and at the time there was no possibility to upgrade. The new Sync service is integrated with you Windows Skydrive storage which – as far as I know – is upgradeable.

Another big change is the Messenger application, it is no longer targeted at “just” IM messaging, but now has an integrated sort of activity stream with social networks like Facebook and Myspace. My guess is that in the future this might expand to other networks as well.
