We're just 12 weeks away...I'm sure we'll see someone leak screenshots b/t now and then. Whoever does would be violating an NDA at this point.

That said...there are a few publicly available screenshots out there, and one good one but that is embedded in other files.

"Shockz" has em...

I'm not going to get in trouble...so. :p

That's alright Trade. I didn't see the beta anywhere. When was it available for download?

trade wind, this probably has been asked before, but...

... do u personally work for microsoft?

i ask because just about every thread that has something to do with microsoft you answer pretty much right away, and also, you seem to know what your talking about.

anyway, just to keep this on-topic, look forward to msn 8 :D

I can't answer for tradewind, but I dont think he does, I think he just beta tests for msn.

He certainly does know msn inside and out though. I have seen his posts on msn newsgroups from micrsoft. He gives some good feedback.

I only wish he would post a nice big screen shot of msn 8 :)

But some actually do respect NDA's, which is good to see for a change.

There is a tiny pic of neowin being displayed on msn 8 in comparision to aol, in the aol beta thread here on neowin.

To keep on topic: I am not looking forward to msn 8. A new msn dash you can drag to the desktop yay ads on the desktop!, No open bar for skinning, customization only to the effect if it serves Msn. (Why would they? msn is trying to make money. In internet explorer you can set the search to google if you wanted, with msn its closed to this kinda thing. That shopping bag icon is important.) Either way some I am sure will find it useful.

I know we all want this sucka.....but b4 we go crazy over it, consider the following VERY carefully: We had problems logging into Messenger 5.0 beta's. FACT: MSN 8.0 uses Messenger 5.0 as part of its core. Therefore the assumption is that One cannot use MSN 8.0 beta due to the same problem we had with Messenger 5.0. And unless we can tweak or edit the files to get it to work like we did with messenger 5, MSN 8.0 will be pretty much useless to us.

Just my 2 cents.

How do you know it uses the same system? MSN 7 doesn't use the same system... Messenger logs you in with a passport... MSN 7 logs you in only with a @msn.com or an @hotmail.com, then when its done, it logs your msn email into messenger as well afterward.

MSN 8 might be differnet though... but I'm sure someone will crack it, although we might have to wait a day. We'll have a high res screenshot for sure though tonight, assuming it gets leaked.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
