Official Windows Live Messenger Invitations Thread


Recommended Posts

Ya, this forum, the spooler over at Mess.be, hotmail inbox, gmail inbox... I'm going to use up my monthly bandwidth in 5 hours... :huh:

The same here, including ideas.live.com and Ms Connect :D Going mad now... or sleeping :D

I give up....I thought that the people on Neowin could be a little more grown up when it comes to requesting invites like this but I guess I was wrong.

I have officially asked for this thread to be closed as this has quite gotten out of hand.

It's going to happen. The only way to truely handle this is to have a mod set up a locked thread, take PM's from people with invites, post that they're available, and then let the users contact those people. Otherwise there will always be people requesting invitations.

I think the method which is (now 'was' is more accurate :D :( ) used in web2messenger invites (generated urls) are more forum-friendly and fair :) But we cannot expect a similar solution from Microsoft unfortunately...

:yes: But then again, what happens when the mod goes to bed or something? Thery need to have certain mods dedicated to it at certain times. Example: PM Mod #1 between 12:00 and 4:00; PM Mod #2 between 4:00 and 8:00; etc... Otherwise the number of invites someone has doesn't get updated and people's inboxes get filled up even if they don't have any more

lol yah for mail beta and onecare live jus go signup on that ideas page, and hopefully they'll contact you in a months time...i waited only 2-3 wks =P and NO I AINT GOT INVITES...

I signed up for OneCare Live only because I was on the page trying to get WLM and Live Mail. I'm glad I did though, it's very nice, although kinda slow for me.

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
