From what I can deduce, what that member sent to you was a forward of the invitation email he got from Microsoft and not invited you exactly. Because my invitation email sounded like this:

Hello!

We'd like you to be among the first to try the beta version of Windows LiveTM Messenger.

If you use MSN? Messenger now, we think you're really going to enjoy Windows Live Messenger...

and there was only a Download button (which only worked on IE =.=)

Okay, I did sign in too. But I don't have invite to the WLM, I only got WOCL, which I tried long back, and also dumped it! Anyways, you should check out the other tread which deals with WLM invites, may get sopme solid support there.

I think my one was just a fw'd :( i did do the happy happy joy joy dance hehe

I'm beginning to think that that is what happened...a forwarded invite. I've been had. An admin should probably rename this thread to "Neowinians that got duped"

I got an invite, then couldn't sign in. After a while, I thought it was gmail's fault for not displaying a link to activate (go to a page where you have to press agree, blah blah blah). I tried viewing the source, but it's pretty difficult to do that in gmail, I can tell you that. I sent it to a yahoo account and then checked the source there. I think it might've been because I use only Firefox (on new computer) and Opera (on older computer)... Oh well, it's working now after i did "I Agree"!

to view source in Gmail you have to switch to "Plain HTML View" first :p Otherwise you'd just see a Javascript frame.

A real second-gen invite doesn't look like that.

This is the text from a REAL second-gen invite, with brackets to indicate contents:

Please keep it short--we can't handle more than a few lines.

Hello!

We'd like you to be among the first to try the beta version of Windows LiveTM Messenger.

If you use MSN? Messenger now, we think you're really going to enjoy Windows Live Messenger. It's as fun and reliable as the Messenger you already know, and you won't lose your contact list or any other personal information when you try this new version. Check it out to experience new ways to connect to your friends via text, voice, video, and more.

Download now (button)

And in case you were wondering about the name change, Windows Live Messenger is part of a new family of services from Microsoft? that includes Windows Live Mail (now a simpler, safer, faster mail), and Live.com (a new personalized homepage experience), to name just a few.

Thanks,

The Windows Live Messenger team

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.

      AFAIK you shouldn't be getting a consent popup at all from Canada, so I think it is to do with a VPN or private/secure DNS.
