I have just woken up and after checking Twitter  see that Windows Live Office has been launched at http://office.live.com which is excellent news!

I then wondered if it was possible to change the theme of the Live suite of service with the new headers and it is.

I then wanted to check if the older part of the Windows Live suite would use one of the new headers…and found that my Windows Live Profile page had also updated to Windows Live Wave 4. Everything on this page appears to have been enabled including privacy controls and the Messenger Connect services.

I have now continued to check every Windows Live service and have found that Windows Live Home, SkyDrive, Photos and Groups have all been updated to Wave 4. Below you can see some of the image of the various updated services.

One other thing I have found is that the emails sent out from Windows Live Groups to notify the group owner that someone wants to join the group has received a make over.

This is great news and I now look forward to Windows Live Hotmail being updated and for the suite of applications to be made available for download, not long to go now. Despite not being able to view the new Contacts page it is possible to access the unified contacts list through the Bing search on most Windows Live pages, the search also allows searching of documents and the web.

One final thing I have seen is that I don’t think the Home page is compete yet, there appears to be a distinct lack of content on the right hand side.
