I mentioned yesterday that the latest wave of Windows Live applications have been released. Thinking about it a little bit more, I realized that other than the "Beta" tag being removed from the splash screens and/or title bars there is no way to know if you have the latest version. Here are the release version numbers for the Windows Live applications:
| Windows Live Application | Release Version |
| Messenger | Version 2008 (Build 8.5.1302.1018) |
| Mail | Version 2008 (Build 12.0.1606) |
| Writer | Version 2008 (Build 12.0.1366.1026) |
| Photo Gallery | Version 2008 (Build 12.0.1308.1023) |
| Toolbar | Feed Detector: 03.01.0000.0073
Form Fill: 03.01.0000.0072
Windows Live Toolbar: 03.01.0000.0146
Windows Live Toolbar Custom Buttons: 03.01.0000.0146
Windows Live Toolbar Search Box: 03.01.0000.0146 |
| OneCare Family Safety | Version 2008 (Build 2.0.5817.2) |
As you can see, everything except the Windows Live Toolbar is now Version 2008 but with different build numbers.
