So far there's 3 classes of invites:

------------------------------------------------------------------

1st-gen

Tier 1 (14/12/2005)

------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd-gen

Tier 1 (18/12/2005)

Tier 2 (6/1/2006)

------------------------------------------------------------------

1st-gen Tier 1 invites are the "official Microsoft 1st gen invites", which give Connect access, and come with 2+3 (or 5, depending on when you accepted the invite) 2nd-gen Tier 1 invitations. In total, a 1st-gen Tier 1 invitee should have had 15 invites to give out.

2nd-gen Tier 1 invitees were people who were given invites by 1st-gen Tier 1 people between the 18th Dec and 6th Jan, and now all have 5 2nd-gen Tier 2 invites to give out. These people don't have Connect access, though. All unsent 2G T1 invitations as of 6/1/2006 become 2G T2 invitations.

2nd-gen Tier 2 invitees were people who were given invites on the 6/1/2006, and they have no invites to give out, so far. These people don't have Connect access either. If you were invited after the 6th of January 2006, you received a 2G T2 invitation.

Please people don't ruin this thread by requesting invites here. There is a thread for that purpose stickied at the top of this forum.

Hey,

Just got in on the action here on Saturday, I noticed the problem with the contacts not appearing, and after a bit of digging around located:

C:\Documents and Settings\[networklogin]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\[passport_email]\Contacts

You'll have two folders in here - one with your messenger login, eg [email protected] (that's mine), and the other will be [email protected].

Now my contact list came back by rebooting the machine, but that of course might not work for everyone!!

HTH,

Ad.

PS - couldn't find the proper thread for this, but got a few invites available, PM with ur email address and I'll send you an invite tonight (around 9pm GMT), first come first served, sorry.

lol when i try and get to that page it comes with "the page you requested is either unavalible or you dont have permission lamo , yet i am beta testing the product and im signed up on ms connect site also :| wered

Sorry, but I'm really not that impressed with the Beta at all!

To me it just seems a whole lot more bloated and hard to navigate than 7.5.

Granted, it has a couple of cool new features, but I'd be grateful if someone could point out to me what's supposed to be so good about it... :unsure:

Windows Live Mail is ok. However I have only tried it out for a short period of time becuase I have not receivbed an invite. I don't like the extra BETA News tab, that is annoying and I would rather not have that on my daily mail box.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
