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. :)

      My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.

      For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
