If the run of Windows Live Wave 4 stories over at LiveSide.net is any indication then we must be getting close to a release of some type.
I say official because there have been plenty of un-official leaks and screenshots spreading around the net. Just go to your favorite search engine and look for them – they are there in bulk!
For those who might now be aware of Windows Live Wave 4 – this is the next version of a suite of Microsoft programs that are tightly linked with the Windows Operating System but developed separately in order to provide a more aggressive update schedule. The last wave of these programs, Wave 3, was released well over a year ago.
According to WikiPedia:
Windows Live is the collective brand name for a set of services and software products from Microsoft. A majority of these services are Web applications, accessible from a browser, but there are also client-side binary applications that require installation on a user’s PC. There are three ways in which Windows Live services are offered: Windows Live Essentials applications, web services, and mobile services.[1]
When will we finally get the Windows Live Wave 4 bits? I would say TechEd 2010, which is scheduled for 07-10 June 2010 in New Orleans, might be the venue. It is the next big technology event on Microsoft’s calendar and they like to make these type of announcements on a big stage.
Based on what I have been reading over at LiveSide.net – there are some big changes coming.
As LiveSide’s new tag line says – Waiting for Wave 4!

I was recently going over Windows Live’s Space blog and believe it or not, we actually were beta testing Wave 3 Essentials way back in September 2008! That was when they were first released in beta.
It’s far too long a gap in my estimation, then they are continuously playing ‘catch up’ with their competitors. To illustrate this, just look at Google Picasa it has received three big updates since Photo Gallery wave 3, including the real photo recognition, geo tagging in the editing screeen blemish remover etc etc.
I would dearly love to know why it takes them so long between these updates.
