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?

1) Got an invite from Microsoft to beta test WLM

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

WTF ???

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.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
