Any word on what is happening with us aussies and our invites?

Nothing yet :( ...I hope they fix it soon..I actually thought I was invited and then rejected again :laugh: :blush: now I know it seems to of happened to all the Aussies who got invited..I'm guessing maybe it will be fixed next few weeks (since Christmas is almost here most of MS are probally on holiday now I'm guessing) also ideas.live.com still reports Windows Live Messenger BETA as "Coming soon"....

Yeah, we're all patiently waiting for them. I hope they sort it out before Christmas, why torture us like this :cry:

Just installed mine. Just played little bit with it. A little dissapointed with the sharefolders I thought I will be ablea to share one folder for a couple of persons but the only way I could see is everybody has it's own folder and if you want to share some files you have to copy or move them there. Didn't test the offline messaging yet.

That's it for now.

P.S

The tray icon JUST SUCKS, if anybody from microsoft is reading this forum, then guys do something about that.

LOL! AGREED TIMES 100!

I don't know why you guys are having so many problems... :p

Does anyone else find this new version UGLY??? :wacko: I'm sorry; I ususally like the new versions of MSN Messenger. But this one has taken a definite turn away from where they were headed...

Yeah I just installed it and am very disappointed with it. The whole colour scheme is terrible, I was expecting transparency and glass effects, but got this awkward popup contact list. With some tweaking that feature could be better and the display pics should be large when it pops up not small. Bottom line is it has some potential, but needs to shed the pumpkin pie scheme and the booger icons.

For windows live messenger: connect.microsoft.com>my participation>wlm8

I'm from Australia, and have just received my "proper" invite to Live Messenger from Microsoft (although I've already been invited by another Neowiner - thanks :) ). Santa had better give me some invites to give away soon...

On another note, I think they need to fix up the tray icon, so I can differentiate between "Busy" and "Away" (among other) statuses.

People in Australia who filled out the survey will now have adownload link in their inbox and will get 5 invitations for windows live messenger!.

Hmmm... I've got the download link, but I'm yet to receive my 5 invitations :(

EDIT: I've accepted the invitation using another account, and now I can use the invitations :D

The bug submission form is usually on the "Feedback Overview" page. However, they've disabled it for now (as written on the home page).

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
