MSN Explorer 8.0

[powerdafuture]

This is the official MSN 8 thread.

All MSN pictures, features, and all the juicy details can be posted here. I will get a few images and leak them here too. :) I personally DONT HAVE MSN 8, so Don't ASK ME FOR IT. I have friends that have it.

POST AWAY!

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)

Not quite.  The reason this is so big is due to that fact it includes MSN5, IE6 Installer, WMP7.1 Installer and PictureIt.  Eventually I bet microsoft will make an express installer for the final verion.

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

I was able to DL MSN 8 beta from the link before it was removed, and than I simply uploaded it to someone else I knew and than deleted it. But was able to rip out MS Picture it Express 7.0 before I deleted it. I wonder if that is a beta also???

[brn2prgrm]

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!

[powerdafuture]

Just a few words of advice:

MS has some good lawyers and there GREEDY for money....so don't try them....;)

[powerdafuture]

Hey Yall!!! LOL....

Post some of your thoughts on the new MSN 8 features, and how do they compare to some of the new AOL features......:D

Has anyone in Canada successfully registered for the MSN Explorer 8 services with their credit card? I've been trying to, but it's just giving me an error regarding the ZIP code. *shrug*

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.

Hmmm... Looks like for once my 56k has come in handy :D

Oh wait I still got 141 megs to go :mad:

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

[powerdafuture]

I wonder what MSN has up there sleeves in future MSN releases after MSN 8, does anyone know or want to take a guess?

[HoboCop]

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...
