Interesting

Dear ******,

As part of helping us test MSN Messenger Beta, we have selected a subset of our testers to help us test a premium subscription offering.

Blue Mountain? supplies Emoticons, Backgrounds, and Display Pictures for MSN Messenger. As an MSN Beta tester, Blue Mountain? has provided these PIN numbers so that you can download Messenger Beta content for free during this beta period.  You will be able to download free: 1 Creaticon, 2 Regular Display Pictures, 1 Regular Display Picture Packs, 3 Emoticon packs, 3 Backgrounds, 1 Background Pack, and 1 Theme Pack.

Please follow the scenario below to download free Blue Mountain? content using the PINs below. Each PIN is assigned specifically to you to download the content only once.  You must use the PIN for the specific type of content for which it is assigned.

What I find interesting is that MS is actually going through with this pay for extras stuff. Personally I could care less for this, I will never use it. I may try it during this free beta, but nothing more.

Ohh no! Thats sad! I remember trying to impress my friends with my Guitar sk33ls through MSN Messenger! Those were the times! Please say it isnt so.

As for the Emoticons, I make my own and so long as the Custom Emoticons feature isnt on pay basis, I'll just make it myself

wtf, this means no display pictures, no emoticons, and backgrounds, + no web caming unless you pay? wtf, screw microsoft, im gonna change to yahoo, or even when google launches its Imessenger

Uhm, No. That's if you want to download emoticons.. You can get a majority of free ones on Mess.be or anywhere else.. And display pictures, still free! Just Deluxe Display Pictures where if you say 'lol' it will laugh for you and your friend, etc. And webcamming will be free unless you want to do a Video Conference with more than 1 friend.

Im going to pay in my opinion.. I like the idea of Deluxe Display Pictures! This is just like AIM Expressions. Get over it!

I don't pay for them. I get them anyway since I'm an AOL member. That brings up the question: do MSN members have to pay for these extras? Or do they get them free with their subscription?

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.
