trek Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What's funny is that the more changes they make the more it starts looking like version 7.5 :D They are really on the ball here. :rolleyes: no kidding... this thing looks like 7.5 more and more after every revision...

PT 13 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Better 7.5 than the crappy 8.0.0362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think the icons in that build are just place holders, like the original WLM icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikablu0530 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Windows Live Messenger 8.0.556 - Final Screenshots & Feature list. it's build 556, not 566... I think it was a typo on the official space. There is no way they would release a version that has build number lower the previous one (the one before was build 562). so it should be 566...

styn...big wlmesser P Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 yep i agree.....but too bad there isnt much different/new features on this new build :( also...its anoying things keep going from left to right and right to left! :( oh well...hope the next"er" one 'll be better :D *checking connect* EDIT: nope no new build yt :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonate Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) *checking connect* EDIT: nope no new build yt :( perhaps because it's night over there? :p Redmond, Washington is about 9 hours after us. So I would say it will be released this evening (for Europeans) or you'll get it when you get up tomorrow. I think it was a typo on the official space. There is no way they would release a version that has build number lower the previous one (the one before was build 562). so it should be 566... Yeah, but later on the text she talked about build 522 and how it was right aligned o.O. Edited February 28, 2006 by kryptonate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxje Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Well, it looks better than the previous ones. But can't they just make one GOOD concept and focus on features instead of bullsh*ttin' with the GUI the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonate Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuinhek Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I hope they provide a normal download link; because of the imo sucky interface of previous releases I don't use live messenger... I will use it with this release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colddove Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 According to the blog, they're saying it's coming out today, not tomorrow. It was posted yesterday saying that it was going to be released today so it should be anytime now. Sometime before 11:59 tonight, hopefully.

ServerMechanic Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 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)?

ServerMechanic Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
