Strangely enough the tray icon is back to the old MSN Messenger one.

Done and done.

Guys, guys, guys! Cut Microsoft some slack! It's a much better sight then the first builds. They could've done alot better with the design, but we will have to live with it.

FYI: when you first download it, it will open and come up with the color that you had set as default on the previous build.

Can anyone confirm if this is the new build? When I try and install it, it just asks if I want to repair my installation...

no thats the old build.

That is the old build, the new one isn't available to the general public yet.

What did you do?!?!?!?

How often does this happen?

Always Happens

I guess the UI is one of those features of a program which "always happens", eh?

Well you cant make it go away thus it always happens. :p I felt it was the best description of the the three.

Dear God, its just SOOOOOOOOOO ugly! It wont matter what color you throw at it, looks like I went back to MSN Messenger 5.0 or something....

I like the older build better :( This one looks hideous.

trying to download it in firefox is horrible.. i had to download it in IE, and it took like.. 2 minutes for it to execute.. and NOW it's downloading. the GUI looks horrible from the screens... i dont think i should update... :cry:

[ObiWanToby]

I like the UI, once I got the color set right!! I think the UI looks ugly if you have a custom color set in the old version. Mine initally looked like total crap, but now it looks decent!

Guys i get vb transfer script error when trying to download of connect can anyone help me out?

[autodefe]

Ugly or not, at least this new build's interface is a lot faster/more responsive than the previous one.

[HoochieMamma]

God, the concept shots of MSN 8 where like 5 billion times better then this monstrosity they pulled out of their asses.

[Eli]

I personally like the new UI. Can't please everyone can they?

[thagame]

if you dont like it dont use it. i think theres enough other messengers that you haters can get some tissues, wipe the tears and use something else. i dont recall ms saying you HAD to run messenger. i think you just like to bitch about something

[AionXn_]

[Eli]

Anybody else having troubles connecting with this build?

[Monchy]

Whew I really don't know what the team in charge of GUI was thinking when they put this together, possibly the ugliest GUI i've ever seen, the first build that was released to us looks much better in my opinion.

The good news is memory usage seemed to go down for me in this build, not sure if this is the same for everyone else. (Y)
