The current build looks and functions quite well but it is still no there yet. I believe that a few details must still be made and repaired before it hits RTM. I do hope however that more features would come our way such as better video conferencing or three way conferencing :yes: .

To be honest, I am not really impressed with the GUI on this version. When I first saw it, i was amazed at how good it actually looked, but since downloading the leaked version and using it, I cant see anything special about it.

Why would you say that? I find the UI very attractive indeed and it does not detract from the overall functionnaltiy of the Messenger. Would you care to share your views on why it does not seem attractive to you?

I use the branches release too. I quite like the new status icons and button icons, but not so much the "dark shading" at the top of the main messenger screen.. I prefer minimilist white / very light grey interfaces in all my apps, desktops etc, but I think the dark part at the top of the main screen detracts from this... If the shading bit was a bit lighter, I think it would be classier. The chat windows look really nifty tho if you select a really light grey :yes:

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
