What's with all the chinese people flooding the forums asking for invites?

Do they realise that the WLM8 client is in english?

because we have the Chinese version WLM 8, but we all have no invite!

it seems that the invite is just for the client in English.

Ok, 2 things:

1: Does microsoft ever randomly send invites out, or does it only work like Gmail did with invites from established people only?

I got an invite this morning from somewhere, and it came on an account that pretty much nobody has. :dontgetit:

(If this somehow came from Jase, thanks man, I owe you one. :) :) :) )

2: I went and logged into the live beta site, and it said that I had zero invites (?). Do I not get any at all, or do they generate over time? If so, how long does it take?

3: If I don't get any invites at all, is there a way for me to reinstall a 7.5 build as well to run my other msn account too?

I have been invited earlier today and now when I go to the live website, there was no link to Activate and Download..

Is this susposed to happen?

Yes, Microsoft sends you an email with a button/link you have to click to activate your account.

Anyone know if mess is going to release a patch or when the next release comes out? The status and buddy icons need massive improvement IMO, but besides the looks it looks to be a quality release.

True the icons need work, but I personaly would rather have messenger plus tuned for it instead of icons.

I was sent another invite, this time from Microsoft directly. Is there any difference at all in what you get with the two different invites? I was added originally by another member and then just today by Microsoft. It gave me a link and said I can also go the the ideas.live.com site to download it. I've alread been able to download. So I was just wondering if you truely get more with the one that comes directly from them. I also, including that one, have two sitting in my inbox now that I haven't used. Can you forward them to others?

Screw messpatch, they are slow and don't often release patches for betas. Check out apatch instead. It doesn't change any graphics (nor will messpatch) but it makes wlm way more pleasing. :)

      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?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      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.
