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.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By Taliseian · Posted

      There is a long thread (128pgs and counting) that I've been following over at ElevenForums that has a method for updating Secure Boot even if there is no BIOS upgrade. I've used this method and had zero issues. NOTE:  I do not take any responsibility if this or any other Secure Boot method bricks your system -- YMMV!  Read carefully before using!
