Thx :)

EDIT: Still didn't work, says my passport account is not authorised to access the BETA :wacko: ....I'm guessing they don't let you have access right away?...how long did you guys who already have the BETA have to wait between when you were invited and when you could login?

When I got my invite there was a link in the email to download WLM. Did that and was able to sign in striaght away.

It has a big orange "Join Now" button, I click on it and it takes me to the Connect homepage..it gave me an invitation code and I filled in the "pre-beta" servey thing..perhaps I'm jumping the gun here :blush: but maybe I actually haven't been invited yet?..seems odd though, I got an invitation sent to me, I filled in the survey...but nothing else... :wacko: :unsure:

EDIT: I think I just got unlucky and missed out...kinda sucks I got an invitation and still didn't get it :laugh: ....I took a closer look at the invitation..

There are only a limited number of spots available in the beta and will be filled on a first come first served basis. Don't hesitate to sign up now.

It sucks but it's life, well at least I can play with Windows Live Mail BETA :p it's at least something ;)

I believe that if you get invited from someone else, you will just get a download link.

I also live in Australia and only just got my invite to join the beta VIA MS Connect, pretty much means im on the limited beta without getting one of those invites :p. So yes, i am pretty sure we wil get accepted in the next couple of days :D

Dear Beta Tester,

We need your expertise again!

We have a new beta version of Messenger and we would like you to be among the very first to try it out. You have proven yourself to be a real expert when it comes to betas, and we need your opinion on what we can do to make this new version of Messenger even better.

This new version is called Windows LiveTM Messenger. It's as fun and reliable as the Messenger you already know, and lets you keep the contact list and other personal stuff you've got stored in Messenger. Plus, this new version has a fresh new look and feel, and lets you do things you've never done with Messenger before, like:

Click on an offline contact and send an offline instant message. If your contact is running MSN Messenger version 7.0 or above, they will receive your message when they sign in.

Change your status to appear offline and still instant message with your contacts?a great way to hide from your coworker and still chat with your friends!

To get started:

Click the button below to go to http://connect.microsoft.com and sign in with your Passport credentials (your Hotmail or MSN e-mail address and password).

Click on the Invitations link in the left hand navigation.

Enter the following I[removed]i> into the box and click Go.

Read the information and any instructions found on the welcome page.

There are only a limited number of spots available in the beta and will be filled on a first come first served basis. Don?t hesitate to sign up now.

And in case you were wondering about the new name, Windows Live Messenger is part of a new family of services from Microsoft? that includes Windows Live Mail (now a simpler, safer, faster mail), and Live.com (a new personalised homepage experience), to name just a few.

Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon.

The Windows Live Messenger team

    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
