Another day, another set of Windows Live Wave 4 pictures (can you guess who got them?) and this time they are of set of pictures of what Hotmail will look like soon.

As you can see there are a few small changes to the structure of the up coming Hotmail including:

Easily accessible options via the “cog” icon
Inbox and Folders are now separated so it is possible to collapse the folders list to save vertical space
Quick views has been added to allow access to specific content, including flagged content. From looking at at what is included in Quick views it could well exist across the whole online experience of Windows Live
Related places now has Home instead of Today as the Today screen will no longer exist in Wave 4
There has been a few changes to the top of the explorer box currently there is no title for the box
I doubt this indicates anything exciting and new to the right of the title box, but you never know
Finally under the “Arrange by” drop down menu there is the option for conversation mode, as we have been expecting to see

Looking forward to seeing more screenshots of Wave 4…oh and actually being able to use it.

Aren’t we all Gilly! I am getting fed up of waiting to be honest with you. Its far too long between updates in my opinion.

[...] We have seen the new features of the sidebar before with Quick Views and I assume that any email with a Office document will be shown in the Documents section and any email with photos attached be shown in Photos. However what is new is the Messenger section which is very interesting not only because it looks to emulate Gmail’s IM placement within an online email service but also because I thought the new Web Messenger would be available on all Windows Live services which would remove the need to have it feature in the sidebar. one reason I can see for this section is to effectively pin favourites within Hotmail so users don’t need to open Web Messenger but can instantly see who is online from within their inbox, likely to be the Live service they spend most of their time anyway. Hotmail certainly looks placed to be the centre piece of the Windows Live online suite. [...]

You seem to know what’s going on with the new hotmail so hopefully you will be able to help me! Before this new change I could easily “right-click save-as” pictures from an email, but now this new “slide-show” format is crazy. I still have not figured out how to get a photo from email to my pictures??? Can you help??? Thanks, Doug

"So the original "we're going to name Windows 8 on ARM something that won't be associated with Windows 8" isn't going to happen? I thought that would've been the best and most beneficial path to take. Oh well, only time will tell I guess."

"[...] I have my fears about how Microsoft is going to handle Windows 8 for ARM devices; I think that if Windows 8 is used to describe both x86/x64 and ARM experiences even though they are different it is going to cause massive confusion for consumers. You can read about my idea for using the name Metro instead of Windows 8 for Windows 8 on ARM. [...]"

"Disappointing. I have no issues with the media controls. The number one request to developers was to add support for Bluetooth. Sort of embarrassing when I want to quickly transfer a file to a friend and I have to explain that my brand new Windows Phone can't do that. This is inexcusable. Bad enough we lost the ability to sync with Outlook as well as the USB mass storage device feature."
