Oh well.. hardly.. Microsoft is charging for it's coming MSN 8.0 browser. What's the point of this anyway? Firefox still survives, Google Talk as well.. What a tragedy for Microsoft..

Windows Live Messenger is a beta version of MSN Messenger, part of Microsoft's new online service called Windows Live. Windows Live Messenger will reportedly introduce numerous new features and include all of the features from MSN Messenger. Windows Live Messenger 8 is only available to select beta testers.
Sounds cool to me huh?
I'm part of the Windows Live Messenger beta. It looks very different, when compared with 7.5. Features new to MSN 8.0 include Offline Instant messaging, where you can send someone a message even if they're offline. They then recieve the message when they next sign in. Also new in Windows Live Messenger, is My Sharing Folders, which works similar to having a shared folder over a network, except this virtual folder is shared with your contacts over the internet. I haven't used that feature much, as it doesn't seem to work right on my computer.
The look of Windows Live Messenger is improved, but the icon in the notification area is ugly though! Microsoft will have to change that before the final release.
I've got MSN 8.0 Beta. I don't really like it. It's too slow for me and I hate what it does as it hovers over names on the buddy list (but not buddy list, whatever it's called on MSN). I prefer AIM now. I used to love MSN but now I don't so much... Anyway don't get too excited because it really isn't that great.

In the latest build which was only released to testers managed by Microsoft, the hover over the contact list has gone. Unfortunately, on various forums where the new build been mentioned, they don't seem to like the new User Interface at all, not because Microsoft removed the hover feature, they just think it looks ugly in general!

If you downloaded it off a site other than Microsofts (ie, you weren't invited to the beta) then you will not be able to sign in. Latest Entries
I m using MSn beta for atleast 4 months ... and i still have some invitations...if someone wants , i can send them..u can pm me..but remember on msn beta , you can only use the email address where i will invite. no any other hotmail email will work on msn beta..
QUOTE(itsmyard @ Apr 27 2006, 10:05 AM) lolz im beta tester so i dun need to use patch but if u ppl wanna use msn 8 aka windows live messenger u ppl will need to use patch So you know you get invites that you can give to people? There is no more need for that patch!! I'm not really a big user of MSN although I have been using the beta, the only difference I noticed was the sharing folders thing and the colour scheme. But, in the latest beta version they have removed sharing folders, I guess the feedback wasnt to good.
i think msn is waste yahoo is much better
lolz im beta tester so i dun need to use patch but if u ppl wanna use msn 8 aka windows live messenger u ppl will need to use patch
