TechCrunch - Večina uporabnikov (vsaj tisti z uradnim klientom v operacijskih sistemih Windows) Microsoftovega sistema za komunikacijo Messenger verjetno veste, da se je uradni Microsoftov klient pred časom premaknil pod okrilje skupine Windows Live Essentials, v katero je Microsoft vključil še nekaj bonbončkov. Poleg Messengerja je mogoče namestiti tudi odjemalec elektronske pošte Mail, pripomoček za urejanje slik Photo Gallery, znotraj paketa je Microsoftov Movie Maker, namestit pa je mogoče še orodno vrstico za brskalnik.
Prav Photo Gallery in Movie Maker sta tokrat deležna največjih sprememb. V Movie Makerju je zdaj lažje ustvarjanje animacij iz video posnetkov in slik, dodanih je več stilov prehodov, videoposnetku pa je očitno po novem mogoče dodati še tekst in glasbo.
Photo Gallery je že prej podpiral prepoznavanje obrazov, ki jih je bilo mogoče označiti z imenom osebe na sliki, kar je olajšalo sortiranje in iskanje po slikah. Zdaj je mogoče naložiti slike iz galerije na Facebook z enim klikom, podobno pa velja tudi za Flickr, YouTube (morda le za videoposnetke?), Microsoftov SkyDrive in za spletni profil uporabnika storitev Live. Prepoznavanje obrazov je razširjeno, saj program sam ugiba, katera oseba se nahaja na sliki. Dodali so še Photo Fuze, ki vam z le nekaj enostavnimi koraki omogoči izdelati kolaž iz več manj uspešnih slik, kjer je rezultat odlična slika brez zaprtih oči in pogledov, zasanjanih v daljavo.
Movie Maker je že v paketu Windows Live 2009 zgledal kot novi Microsoft Office 2010. Tudi v tem Movie Makerju se že da dodati glasbo, namesto zvoka videa ter dodati napis na video.
Jaz sem včasih uporabljal (ko sem se začel učit) Windows movie maker in windows movie maker 2, ki je podpiral dodajanje glasbe in teksta v filme. Tudi tranzicije.
Kje se pa pri Galeriji vključi prepoznavanje obrazov?
Danes sem dobil email v katerem piše o sporazumu such as Hotmail, SkyDrive, Bing, MSN, Office.com, Windows Live...spodaj citirano ...kaj točno pomeni to za nas..je sploh pomemebno?
