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.

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...

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.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      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 adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
