Official Windows Live Messenger Invitations Thread


Recommended Posts

All this is Google's fault.

They started this tradition of invite system to build up hype.

True dat, but I find it very funny that people are willing to pay for these. I remember seeing gmail invites on eBay for $5 - $10. Sad.

Maybe someone should change the news article on the Neowin main page. It does say "Request a WLM Invite on the Neowin Forum" giving a link to this thread. Of course at the same time people should actually read the first post. For all they know, the link could have taken them to a signup thread for a lifetime supply of junk mail. Not that I haven't already signed up for that apparently.

Maybe something along the lines of "Share your WLM Invite on the Neowin Forum" instead?

And just to make sure that my post seems vaugely on-topic, I'll say that I've sent out a couple of PMs. I don't expect anything, but maybe there will be some random error in my favour :)

Anyone who requests an invite will be reported

Is this a valid reason for a report? I'm not critisising or anything, certainly something has to be done about those that don't read. However, I'm wondering if things like "stupidity" and "illiteracy" fall under the valid reasons category.

Well if people cant be arsed to read the rules of the thread before they post its a good enough reason to me mate.

    • I can name 10x that on why not to switch.... It's funny outlook/office are going towards web app wrappers, and then MS is now preaching native apps again.... ugh can we just pick a lane and stay in it
    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
