@Alber1690: I'm not sure, but neither has Admin Center and they managed to get the Wave 3 look. According to an August 7th post on the My.Live.com blog:

"We'll start planning for our next update to My.Live.com, aiming for a minor update in the Fall. Right now, most of our time is being devoted to another project that we'll have more information about in the coming months."

@Albert1690 No updated on my.live.com... Personally i think they have forgotten about it like with WL Alerts

@Alber1690: indeed it is down....and showing a green header for me even when I'm not signed in =S previous downtimes made me doubt that there'll be an update this time, but I still remain hopeful......

I really like the new icons, very stylish- they also much the IE7 logo.

Long Zheng has been bugging me all week about hi-res versions of these icons, and he finally got his mitts on them: www.istartedsomething.com/.../delicious-new-windows-live-wave-3-icons

I actually like the icons & their stripes. (But where's the Groups stripe?) The Writer/Spaces similarity makes sense. And flowers are nothing new in Windows / WL iconography.

I strongly dislike the new icons. It's too playful and kinda feminish. I mean flowers? Blech. The yellow ribbon around most icons is just extraneous.

Also the Groups icon is too similar to the current Spaces icon. And the new Spaces icon looks a lot like Writer. I like the new Wave 3, except these rosy girly icons and themes. I want something more vibrant, stark, sleek and exciting. Maybe next time...
