Neowin ed - welcome Anthony to the neowin news team!
What other new features do you get with this then? Apart from the dynamic backgrounds....
So, seems quite boring without any Vodafone available...
Besides, there is no xtra bloat between 7.0 and 7.5, in fact, I've been using all the 7.5 betas, and I fnd them to use half the resources of 7.0, connects faster, performs better, etc. etc.
Saying you're gonna stick with an earlier version is kinda stupid, when ya know you'lll eventually be forced to upgrade. Besides, it's always best to have the latest in my opinion.
Theyve already released it, just check out the link you gave us, MSN Messenger Beta Site.
lols i think Ill try it out :p
lol
Not sure whether 7.0 did this, but 7.5 integrates with the XP Welcome Screen, to tell you how many unread Hotmail messages you have.
are offline.
Yahoo and Icq has it for years.
why Micro$ucks does not such thing???
I really hate it when I spend quite some time typing a message, and then push send, only to find out that the contact went offline. Very very very annoying.
MSN Messenger 7.5, although is a hell of a lot better than previous versions, is so so so far behind in technology compared to ICQ even 8 years ago.
Have people never heard about e-mail?
Never used it back in the old days, don't use it now, and don't plan on using it in the future either.
I can't stand even recieving e-mail, unless it has something useful or funny attached to it.
I used ICQ for many many years, starting back somethin like 8 years ago, and I was never bombarded with popups on my screen. The messeges just don't pop up all over, lol.
Besides, reading instant messages is a hell of a lot easier and faster than reading a crap load of e-mails.

I could understand charging if they had their own IM infrastructure to support but they don't.
