So everyone has seen the previous screenshots and most people will have downloaded and installed it and are playing about with it at the moment. But what is to come?
Thanks to Betaz we've discovered the exact things that will be uncovered in the Launch Site button. It seems they are only working for some at the moment but could be fully functional very soon. The most interesting of features is the File Sharing part. Users can now easily share files and the other users have the chance to download these or not.
For the games, we have Checkers coming soon as well as Solitaire Showdown, Bejeweled and Minesweeper Flags. The ones that work at the moment are Decision Wheel and Tic Tac Toe. Users can easily interact and play these games without having to worry about firewall problems. The games are stored on MSN servers and use ActiveX controls to function.
We look forward to using all these games in the up and coming MSN Messenger client but for now take a sneak peak at some of the games below.

Great update. more games. i like the linear webcam send option when u want to see the person but dont want the person to see you is good, picture logo is one of the best and i can see the other person at once when he changes the picture, audio is buggy

The new Messenger 6 gets a BIG thumbs up from me! A friend and I were playing Tic Tac Toe earlier and toying with the new animated emoticons. It's a great start to what promises to be the messenger that beats all other messengers!

I cant get it to install on Windows 2000 with service pack 2 I get this message.
"This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service" Oh well have to wait till I get home. |
