Microsoft admitted it made a mistake in identifying Windows Live Mail as incompatible with Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. The company said there was an inaccuracy on their part and claimed that the email client works just fine with IE 8 Beta 2. Windows Live Mail, formerly named Windows Live Mail Desktop, code-named Elroy, is intended to be a successor for Outlook Express on Windows XP and Windows Mail on Windows Vista. It contains a superset of Windows Mail's features, and provides integration with Windows Live Hotmail.
