MSN 8.5 beta build 1625.0 released

Advertisement (Why?)

Thanks to kainashi for the heads up

A new build of MSN 8.5, Microsoft's alternative to AOL has been released by Microsoft to its beta testers for intense testing.

No major improvements this time though. MSN 8.5 is shaping out to be MSN Explorer 8 but with a few extra tweaks and nice additions for its users. We've provided a download link for this build but remember you must be an MSN 8 subscriber to be able to login and use MSN 8 itself.

= i got MSN 8 the other day, still cant seem to let it save my account on the main window, customer support claims its due to Norton being installed =

Have you tried uninstalling, then disabling Norton and reinstalling MSN 8? By any chance are you trying to add a paying subscriber account to MSN 8 when there is already a paying subscriber associated with the copy of MSN 8 you are attempting to add yourself to?

microsoft seems to like to blame norton for everything.
