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.

Anyone else run into this problem?

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.

    • 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.
