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.

Some users have reported failure but this has been tested by Neowin on Windows XP with SP1 and we confirm it works.

[neoquote=#4.5 by crazyturn2]hey # 5.. you might want to get your facts straight before you comment on anything.. no one formatted anything.. and it was a news article that was the cause of the ruckus.. [/neoquote] Neowin lost everything. They had to use a backup to get everything back. [quote]and it was a news article that was the cause of the ruckus[/quote] Because of links to software that shouldn't have been downloaded.
