Official Windows Live Messenger Invitations Thread


Recommended Posts

for anyone who got an invite sent to their gmail address:

1. Forward it to your hotmail address.

2. open it up and view the source (the button still wouldnt work for me andfor some weird reason, gmail doesnt let you view source)

3.there should be somewhere in the source a url with "accept" in it... find it, and go to it...

4. the rest should be self explanatory...

this worked for me :)

:cry: i got a email saying i need a hotmail/msn account

The good news is that the wait is over! We?re excited you want to try Windows Live Mail? beta.

The ?other news? is that you need to get an MSN? Hotmail? account before we can set you up with Windows Live Mail beta.

Fortunately, this takes about 90 seconds, is about as difficult as eating breakfast or your favorite snack, and is totally free (calorie- and money-wise).

Sign Up

When you have your Hotmail account, please return to the Windows Live Mail beta page and sign up with your new @hotmail address. We know! That?s kind of a pain when you already signed up once, but it will be worth it.

Thanks again. We hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

The Windows Live Mail beta team

Can I have an invite please?

simon [at] stintranet [dot] co [dot] uk

Would someone please invite me? My email is pingshen [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks in advance.

Please do not post requests here! PM the person.

I think we could "punish" those who request here by not sending them invites?

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
