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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
