Official Windows Live Messenger Invitations Thread


Recommended Posts

How do I go about downloading this thing? I got invited a couple of days ago, signed up, then nothing!

Quote from my connect:

"Active | Windows Live Messenger 8.0 Beta | Windows Live Messenger Beta 8.0 | 12/14/2005 | Decline Participation"

i would imagine you download ..Live messenger (check mess.be they have a link to microsoft download location) and see if you can sign in :) or go to ideas.live.com and sign in maybe its linked there...

If anyone could still spare an invite, I would like to have one please. Thanks in advance.

I have a Live Mail invite for anyone that gives me a messenger invite!

im assuming that i could send out 2 invites if i was given one? id be happy to if someone was to invite me

U can get WLM 8.0 from any site but it wont allow u to sign in unless u are a official beta tester :no:

noone answered... I just sent almost 10 PMs... if you have an invite, please send it @ mad_griffith[at]hotmail.com! My MSN account is up since 2000/2001 and have never the chance to try anything MSN-related :(

    • 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"
