hmm... the only one i could think of is unsending an e-mail (like you can do in AOL - but they would have to have the same @isp prefix or server. I think)

Yeah...it looks like this leak came from the CD. The web-install is only 19.2 mb.

WARNING to all those thinking they should sign up with MSN8 with their credit card: Microsoft monitors all the accounts created with MSN8. And don't you think that since only a few hundred people have this it would be quite easy to track? And especially since they requested the link to be removed from the front page im guessing it could be considered warez (can you say piracy law suit? :) ) Just a simply warning! Don't trust me? Just remember who released this beta to you first!

Any help would be appreciated

There aren't any international versions in beta or otherwise as yet. Remember, MSN 8 needs a whole host of backend severs caching & dishing up localized data. (weather, stocks, mail etc)

Not to mention that they need to set up a whole billing & support process in each country MSN 8 will be available in.

International versions & services will follow later this year, and early next year.

So when exactly is the Msn 8 release for America? I hear October 17th or something like that..

I doubt they care if you already got it. If anything, they will block the verson from connecting to the network. ;)

9 hours and 141 megs later...

1) I install it thinking that since I have MSN dial-up service it will work fine

2) I click I already signed up...

3) I type in my account info

4) Says its not associated with MSN 8

5) I say "What the $hit!"

And on the selection screen it even says

Choose I?ve already signed up if:

You have already signed up for MSN 8 Internet Service at a store, over the Web, or on another computer.

?orYou do currently pay for MSN Internet Access to get online. .

OH well... it IS beta so I can't really blame it...
