#Michael Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Didn't get invited to this one... 586203207[/snapback] Just be patient and you will see.... 586203246[/snapback] This can't be leaked because it uses the new invitation system on the new MS connect portal. It is a one time only ID unique to the user it is sent. They are able to track who downloads the program now from the new connect portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God I hope they kick you out. 586203047[/snapback] and god I wish you would shut your mouth. Hey maybe i just lied that I even got in, I mean come on seriously I could of had a friend of mine pull that screen shot, I know least 6 people in this beta now. Seriously if you dont like it tough, I'm sorry that your not a tester and if you are I feel bad for the people even letting you into the beta. Its just msn messenger seriously, and the fact that it will be leaked minutes after its released is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: removed screenshot (it's an NDA violation), but yes, the MSN Messenger beta program uses a custom font and size in the participation listing.
