IF your having problems installing WLM Build 0566, try to UNINSTALL MESSENGER BETA, then delete the MSN Messenger Folder!

install from external link (one available on neowin) and install that way.. do a required reboot, and enjoy :D

If anyone cares, my opinions on the new UI can be found in screenshots on this page: http://jordananton.googlepages.com

Remember this is only my opinion. I would like to see who agrees with me and who doesnt.

Despite the fact that I only point out the wrongs of the UI, I actually do think it is a great improvement from the last build and think they are on the right track. But fixing these little extra things would make it that much better.

The only improvement for me is the Contact list. I hated that hoover thingie, zooming on the contact and stuff. Downright ugly and not really usable. I did however like the ... what to call it... the glassy ui with the possibility of changing color. I thought that was pretty sweet and really aesthetic. The contact list now is better, but i miss the glassy ui. These colors are just too faint and bright. Makes it look like a white square.

:(

    • 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.
