Microsoft MSN 9 leaks onto the Interweb

[Daniel F. Administrators]

AN EARLY VERSION of MSN 9 has found its way onto the Internet, according to a report from Windows watcher Neowin.

The early build of MSN Explorer 9.0 is build 9.00.0006.1700 and, Neowin claims, is very similar to MSN Explorer 8 and 8.5.

The site says new features include an anti pop-up blocker, better integration with Windows Explorer, and a traffic report.

Neowin has reviewed the early build and has screenshots of several features of the forthcoming product, which you can see by clicking here

I dont think the MSN program will ever be open to non subscribing members again as paid members are more then willing to beta test new builds so either pay up or go without :shifty:

"anti pop-up blocker" thats rich

I just realised this thread had "interweb" in the title. Wtf is the interweb? :|

lol!

In the build...it is simply called "Popup Manager".

Works good...the option to display a thumbnail of the popup is rich. Still...even that ends up bugging me when I visit a site that throws up more than one popup.

I'm thinking of turning off the thumbnail...and letting it flash/make a sound for each popup. Sometimes I am on a site that gives me a popup I want to see. I can then just click show most recent popup in the address bar. We'll see if that cuts down on the annoyance factor...but still gives me the freedom to pick a popup that I actually want to see.

they should make a Lite version like w/o the popup blovcker and spam and parent controls and give it away. and tho extras are for members ony

Only when AOL does the same, they will.. but either way.. I dont think an "anti pop-up blocker" is what I want.. seriously, why should MSN block my pop-up blocker. LOL j/k

Anyway, once you've installed this Messenger into Windows XP for instance, can you successfully go into Add/Remove Components and Uninstall it? Without later finding the systray icon appearing mysteriously?

That Digital Image Library program is pretty sweet. I hope MSN 9 Premium comes with that instead of the crappy one with Office 2003.
