once they impliment the invite system, they will assume you will invite your other accounts...

I got the download link today, installed.. no difference between 7.5 and this one except the visual.

Takes ~25mb of RAM with ONE window open

It works for me, but I think it depends which locale you set your passport to be in. I receive all the content from MSN Video Canada for example.

yay! Just got my invite! WOOT!

If you read the otherparts of the page, it says Canadian users will get their download link very soon. Please read the Connect page next time.

Microsoft site's i open in IE, so wasnt a Firefox issue

I also had trouble finding the link to download it. The webpage didn't run correctly in Opera or Firefox (big suprise :p :rolleyes: ) Well I opened it in IE and was able to go through with downloading it

How can I turn on the Display picture on login screen?

Can I ask you guys something? I haven't read through this thread, but is anyone else as annoyed with how little room, by default, there is for the contact list and IM conversations? I was shocked as all hell when I saw the actual contact list comprised less than 50% of the contact window and the IM conversations were easily less than 40% of the damn IM window. It's almost as though reshacks like apatch are needed if you want to actually be able ot get something like IM'ing done within the client.

Yeah Chris ... I have a 15" Monitor and use 800x600 resolution and with the Maximum Main Window Size i can barely see Two contacts on the main list ( Sorted by Show details ) and without the details i can see only 7 contacts :p ... talk abt some space crunch

Exactly what I said 2 posts up. It's insane how little room is left for instant messenging. Kind of odd considering this is a damn instant messenging application lol.

[Lee G. Veteran]

Usually I like the new versions of MSN, but this one's horrible. I prefer the old MSN Messenger UI. I hope it is not changed. I guess I'll tell Microsoft that.

[AltecXP]

I installed it and after 5 min i couldnt take it any more, I filed like 6 buggs anf uninstalled it. its total CRAP.

[andrewhaji]

Personally, I don't like all the grey in the new UI. It looks too dull. And the UI is a lot slower. But I haven't experienced any "bugs", per se... *fingers crossed*

[LG1]

I get this when i click windows live mail

Windows Live? Mail beta

But i still can't get into the new interface, sorry to be off topic

I believe it may take 24 hours for your password to activate. I seem to remember that from some other beta.

if your having problems downloading it, try using Internet Explorer. it should work then.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

i use IE when goign to hotmail, and goign to the beta site, no DL Link. already ready filled out the survey, put in my invitation code, no DL link, so stop telling people to use IE as ti will not solve the issue
