Kind of weird they would put it on their blog and say it's available for download at ideas.live.com and then it's not :D

They didn say it was available.

They said that when it is released all testers can download it....

Will it be released today (uk time)? Or will i have to wait while tommorrow?

It is only available in certain countries, I don't really which ones exactly.

On the Messenger blog site it says that all current beta testers can download this version (.566).

I am a beta tester and I went to ideas.live.com to download the latest version and the version that comes down is still old (.356).

Where the heck do you get this version (.566)?

If you're a beta tester why would you go to ideas.live.com and not to the connect website?

Do you mean that you are a friend of a beta tester with an invite account maybe?

Oh, for christ's sake, quit being a pedant!

I was invited by somebody to the WLM beta - does anyone have news on when it will be available to invited beta testers?

oh for crying out loud!

This will be released to beta testers and invitee's at the same time, according to the Messenger Blog.

An updated version of Windows Live Messenger will be released to all current WLM beta users. If you're not a beta user but want to be, sign up on our short wait list at http://ideas.live.com.

I rather have them create a new GUI for once instead of the same one for the past few versions :/. Personally I think WLM has got enough features allready (well big ones). Some of the existing ones could be improved.

It has too many features IMO. Nudges are annoying. Winks are eve worse. Sharing Folders, VOIP, video, basic text chats, logging of chats, and contact management are all that's needed. I wish they offer two version of WLM. One with everything and one without.

you meen a sorta WLMlite or something like that. I do agree that Nudges and winks are annoying. i would definately chose a Lighter version without nudges and winks etr. mabee one of the testers should sugest this 2 microsoft.

www.mess.be posted the changes.. but some of the things they said changed... was in build 0562

Don't forget that 0562 wasn't released to everyone, so not many people will have known about it, especially the standard invitees.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
