I did not like the new look at first, but it has grown on me a lot. I have had no problems with it at all. It?s running fine. Had not one crash with it, and I have been testing all the features to make sure. I have sent feedback on what I like and don?t though, so I feel im helping beta test it. A thanks goes to my mate Rob who sent me the invit:) :)

Just a screen-shot of it all open.

I had been joined WLM8 beta by Neowin members's invite

Anyone know that there is an official beta newsgroup for WLM8 or not?

and how can I join it?

As far as i know, the people who were invited do not have access to it. go to connect.microsoft.com, log in, if you have messanger 8 in there you can set the newsgroup password, if it's not in there (which i don't think it is for those people), then you won't be able to use the newsgroup.

There might be a bit more to it than that. Apparently it's disabled for Australians (which according to your profile you are).

I don't think its disabled for Aussies....Shared Folders also requires that you have a NTFS Partition and unmolded .exe that doesnt modify the 'digital signature'

OK - I'm not sure if anyone's clarified this in the ~32 pages before, but if you get invited to the Live Messenger beta, do you get invites of your own to pass on?

This is what is says when I log in to Windows Live Ideas (I was invited)

Hopefully they will give us some invites so we can return the favour.

Just to let people who dont know, You are free to sell your invites on ebay or the like. MS have said its cool with them. I read this from http://www.mess.be/ under the 'WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER 8.0 BETA CHAT'

This is what was said, to someone at MS:

Q: What do you guys think about people selling their windows live messenger invites on ebay?

A: I think it is cool. We actually have a pool to see what the highest price is.

To access the newsgroups or Connect website at all you must be a user invited to the beta by Microsoft.

All people invited by other people (testers) are only there to use the program and to test server load. :)

never trust a person who is willing to trade for invites i had a person pm me with over 500 posts the person said they will give me an invite for live mail if i gave them a wlm 8 invite so i did person pmed saying he/she didnt have an invite for live mail yet grrrrrrrrr

so if anybody has a live mail invite pm thx

Will Messenger Live overwrite Messenger 7.5? I ask this because I have 2 messenger accounts but only 1 will allow me to use Messenger Live.

Yes when you install messenger live it will overwrite msn messenger 7.5 unless u rename the msn folder to a new name before you install windows messenger live!

Best thing to do...is just copy the complete folder and move it...then rename it MSN_7.5 and then create a shortcut from the msnmsgr.exe...then have the WLM install over the stuff in the default folder.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
