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...

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      From the incredibly asinine idea of disposable AI datacenter satellites launching into low Earth orbit to building out yet another unnecessary mobile network, this con-man will do ANYTHING to scam investor suckers and get his stock prices up. This stinks of panic to me. Good.

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

      By excalpius · Posted

      And they say Brits are better educated than Americans. Seriously, mate, the American Empire built the Industrial Revolution -- specifically via the transport and exploitation of oil. Not the UK. Whereas, the British Empire was built for centuries on the oceanic "spice trade" -- which "coincidentally" overlapped all of the places where Opium was grown, aka the world's only surgical grade anesthetic for ten thousand years. The British Empire was the first seagoing UPS (and even local dealer) of the Old World. For what it's worth, all mining, processing, manufacturing, and distribution are becoming robotic in the near future. And it will then make sense for everything to be manufactured (by robots) on the continent where those products will be sold. So, while no humans will be involved, manufacturing will become local again one day. PS Trump is a lying, fascist, ignorant, crooked, idiot **** who fearmongers the same racist, misogynist cowardly ###### used by charlatans, Nazis, and con-men going back tens of thousands of years. It's never been true.
