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?

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.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
