Microsoft is operating with Apple to fix challenges that some iPad proprietors are reporting when trying to compose and reply to an e-mail message on Apple;s new tablet.Microsoft officials acknowledged the problem inside a May 14 publish to the “Inside Windows Live” blog.“Rest assured that we’re working with Apple to understand the concerns, and we’ll repair them as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we have directed all iPad traffic to our mobile Hotmail website. Alternatively,
Office Standard 2007, you can set up the iPad email client to use POP to download your Hotmail,” said Mike Schackwitz,
Windows 7 Ultimate, a Program Manager with the Windows Live Hotmail team.Microsoft is set to release a new version of its Windows Live services and software — known by the codename “Windows Live Wave 4,
Windows 7 X64,” over the coming weeks. Word is that the service-only pieces of the Windows Live family (including Hotmail) will be released first,
Microsoft Office Pro 2010, followed by the “Windows Live Essentials” bundle (which includes Mail and Messenger). Microsoft will likely “launch” Wave 4 (in beta form,
Windows 7 Home Basic, I am guessing) real soon now. (Some are expecting the new Hotmail and Messenger to launch on Might possibly 18.)Microsoft officials said last week that Wave 4 will begin rolling out in final form to consumers by June 15 — the same date when
Office 2010 and Office Web Apps will be released to consumers.
