As I was perusing Twitter today I noticed a tweet that mentioned an update to some of the Windows Live Wave 3 programs and so I went to the http://download.live.com website to see what was going on.

I started an install right from that page and was shown that 5 of the 7 programs that I use (I do not use Family Safety or the Toolbar) had updates so I started the download/update which took about 7-8 minutes.

Here is what the old build numbers were for those 5 programs:

    • Windows Live Writer – 14.0.8089.726
    • Windows Live Messenger – 14.0.8089.726
    • Windows Live Photo Gallery – 14.0.8081.709
    • Windows Live Movie Maker – 14.0.8091.0730
    • Windows Live Mail – 14.0.8089.0726

They were all updated to build 14.0.8117.416. I also went in search of what was changed but there is no info out there. If you have any gouge on the updates please let us know in the comments.

Maybe they are lining up the build numbers in preparations for Windows Live Wave 4. Does that make sense?

    It’s possible. Have you been prompted to update by WIn7 or do you have to manually update the software?

      I did not get prompted in anyway except by the tweet I saw.
