- Yes they have but thats not what bothers us, there is a new feature that can be a security risk (if you have the beta you should know which one i am on about) IT either needs to be changed or scrapped.

- If it gets leaked, they said they'd shutdown the public testing.

- Been trying to annoy people with the custom login sound but nobody has said anything. I'm assuming it's not backward compatible.

- Downloading my install now. I didn't even check my email. I saw this in the Neowin RSS just now and went straight to Connect to see if my Invite changed from pending to activated LoL.

- Got accepted into it as well but havent had a chance to install yet.
As reported by several sites, the program was not put on hold at all due to the feature list being leaked over the holiday weekend, additionally, sites also reported that some testers had already gotten the build and that was just a rumor. Coincidentally, almost all of the sites that had posted the feature list for Windows Live Messenger had politely removed the list of features. Again, the beta program is expected to officially start this afternoon or early evening. We will be updating this post when the build is released on Microsoft’s Connect web site. We will share more information as it comes in and we will share as much information as we are allowed to by our non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
