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.

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

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
