Has anyone received this via AutoUpdate yet?

#1.1 ben_b on 24 Nov 2003 - 15:35

I haven't got the update yet but my computers always slow updating. It is still stuck on Beta 4

#2 BGuillaume on 24 Nov 2003 - 16:04

Mine didn't AutoUpdate so I just re-ran the installer, it saw that it needed to update right away.

#3.1 ec4912 on 24 Nov 2003 - 16:23

I just ran the installer also. It upgraded from 10.1601 to 11.1200 (finally!). Sadly, it keeps crashing on me at startup.

#3.2 ec4912 on 24 Nov 2003 - 16:32

I just reran the installer just in case, and it's working now! Yeah!

#4 Dave999 on 24 Nov 2003 - 16:25

9.00.0011.0200. or 9.00.0011.1200?
ran the update button and got 9.00.0011.1200.

#6.1 ec4912 on 24 Nov 2003 - 17:23

Sounds right to me, man.

#6.2 ben_b on 25 Nov 2003 - 01:07

He is asking is it 9.00.0011.0200 without the period or 9.00.0011.0200., with the period?

#6.3 ec4912 on 25 Nov 2003 - 12:16

Huh? Well, in that case, it's neither.

SO what are the changes...what's the Email Designer ? did they just give a name to the Mail client?...That's all ? ....a joke?

#7.1 Avenger on 24 Nov 2003 - 20:42

The mail client already has a name. "MSN Mail" works for me.

#7.2 ben_b on 25 Nov 2003 - 01:25

First of all may I ask where you come up with Email Designer? Secondly here is a little information about Designer Mail... anyone can find out about MSN 9 if they look hard enough

Designer Mail

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OK I FOUND IT IN " EMAIL OPTIONS" you can download enhanced email !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#8.1 ec4912 on 24 Nov 2003 - 18:48

I'm not sure what they mean by "Enhanced E-mail", I did check that option when installing, but I don't see any difference.

(1 reply) #9 Krankerz on 24 Nov 2003 - 18:10

For some reason I can't install this. When it asks for my e-mail address, it autofilled it out with my POP3 address and greyed it out (I can't modify it). Then I enter my password and click next, and it says I must only enter a MSN or Hotmail address, which is something new to me. This is the first update that wouldn't install for me. Also, what is enhanced e-mail?

#9.1 ben_b on 25 Nov 2003 - 01:50

If you are a official beta tester, and I here by hop you are I don't support warez, post about it in the news group we don't need to be helping the people that use warez get it to work.

#10.1 BobSmith on 24 Nov 2003 - 22:08

If you're a legit beta tester, get it from betaplace.

#10.2 ben_b on 25 Nov 2003 - 01:51

Another warez user.... ug

#11 stickman68 on 25 Nov 2003 - 00:31

anyone know when this is going to be released but then does anyone have a link? there was a leak at one time but then havnt seen one for some time

#12 ben_b on 25 Nov 2003 - 01:32

"For clarity we show zero tolerance for spam, advertising, useless and off topic comments, raising post count, warez (links) & cracks and aiding this; requests or posts that discuss circumvention of protection mechanisms, racism, threatening (citing), victimization or hateful posts that incite flaming or similar, & bypassing our word filter. "

It's not warez. Non-beta users still must have a paid MSN account.

#13.1 ben_b on 26 Nov 2003 - 15:14

"/weirz/ A term used by software pirates use to describe a cracked game or application that is made available to the Internet, usually via FTP or telnet, often the pirate will make use of a site with lax security.

Software piracy is illegal and should be reported to the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST)."

Sounds to me like a stolen copy of MSN 9.

#13.2 plasticparadox on 26 Nov 2003 - 15:49

It's neither cracked nor stolen. And do you honestly think Microsoft cares? What are they going to do; cancel a paying member's account for using a beta?

#14 BGuillaume on 25 Nov 2003 - 13:27

The best part of this release remains MCAfee Activation
