Hotmail On Your Desktop 235

thomas2you writes "Microsoft has just started its beta testing on a new program, made to have Microsoft's hotmail on your own desktop according to an article on CNET. It's going to be free software, you're going to be able to manage multiple accounts and they are attempting to include the ability to also just control all pop3 and smtp accounts you have, including Google's gmail as well as Windows Live Mail, the successor to Hotmail. From the article, 'The move is a shift for the Hotmail business, which in the past, has charged users who wanted to read their mail using desktop software, rather than a Web browser. Microsoft charged $20 and up for its paid service.'"

Comment Maximise Settings (Score 1) 355

For example, I never use the Anjuta IDE in anything but a maximised window. Anjuta defaults to an window almost as large as my screen when opened, with the top left corner about three pixels from the corner of the screen.

This is the one thing that really annoys me about Anjuta. Synaptic does this as well. I thought it may have been my system, but apparantly it's like that for everyone.

It's a really small problem, but extremely annoying. It would be great to see this fixed.
