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 cant be as my mate in the UK has it and he only lives 10 mins away from me!!! :whistle:

And in what country does he supposedly lives according to his passport-profile?

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.

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
