I've already been invited, but i have a question, non hotmail accounts cant be invited right? ( cause the inviter has a real hard time sending it to my gmail account )

Gmail account is OK.

You still need to login to the Passport account when you Accept the Invite.

2) Download and install..a memory hog but works for almost a week

3) Try logging in yesterday and I get a message box telling me that my account is not allowed to run the beta

4) Got ****ed off and reinstalled 7.5

it worked from the beginning of the beta for me and then i got the same message a while ago

but now i use gilly messenger, it rocks

I got my invite from microsoft this morning as well!

does any one know if we will be getting a number of invites ourselves and when we'll get them?

They sent it to my yahoo account, but it didn't sign me up, but when I signed in with my hotmail account it joined?!?!?!

As I received my invite from someone on here I am offering my last 3 invites for LIVE MESSENGER to people on Neowin. PM me but beware, people who signed up just to get an invite will not be given them... If anyone has something to trade that would be nice, but not necessary...

EDIT: 2 LEFT...

Edited by TomAL

I got an invite a few hours ago and to be honest anybody with 7.5 may as well not bother with 8

I can't see what the fuss is about it's practically the same.

Shame

I'm trying to send feedback on Windows Live Messenger.

I've logged into Connect but Windows Live Messenger doesn't appear to be listed there. As others have reported, the "Send Feedback" link from the client doesn't work.

Can someone please confirm how I can go about sending feedback?

Many thanks.

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • 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.
