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

could just give it me for xmas :santa:

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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
