- New Calendar pane has a “quick event“ box located at the right bottom of the window which allows users to quickly add an event to the calendar.
- Windows Live Messenger no longer has a menu bar on top. All the options have been moved to the bottom bar
- Windows Live movie Maker finally has webcam support which means that you should be able to directly record video clips to Movie Maker with your webcam.
