brn2prgrm Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Yes, it's that time of the season again... Time for more MSN 8 eye candy for ya'll to wow at. This time I also felt like posting a few previews of the face lift that's being done on the MSN channels. The only MSN 8 screenshots I posted were the new Media Player and About box, other than that, not much is new in Beta 2 (Build 2007.6). And this time for legal reasons (yeah, I know, a lame excuse, but no host for it ::wink wink:: ) I won't be leaking this build. -brn2prgrm About Window: New Chat Channel (almost ready): New Groups Channel (still a work in progress): MSN 8 Subscription Home Page (very sleek): Media Player in Dashboard Playing Audio: Media Player in Dashboard Playing Video: Money Home Page (ewww, please tell me they're not done :D): Money Plus Home Page (Very handy for you online bankers): Photos Plus Home Page (Nice for sharing pics with family): And for all you imagephiles out there, here are all the above screenshots in high quality png format in one handy zip :p MSN 8 Beta 2 Screenshots (1.3MB) Edit (15:26 - 9/23/02) - Added Money and Photos Plus home pages..

Michel Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 MSN 8 will be a 'pay' service, but what if you just would like to use the MSN explorer (like the one that comes with XP): Does that require you to pay as well? ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME MSN Explorer 7 and below will remain free. MSN 8 is introducing a $9.95/month plan for people who wish to use it with their current ISP. This is to cover the cost of services such as Calendat, Online Photos, Money management, etc. Also all accounts come 10mb of space for email.

Hmmm, $9,95 p/m to get a new interface and some extra space for all the spam :s .... Since version 7 will remain free (for how long I wonder) I'll stick to that.

Deron Dantzler Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 the media player isn't new...there was a trick to it on the first beta, you had to open dashboard, and browse the net THROUGH MSN 8, then find some streaming content like a file at MP3.COM, click on it and it would automatically load up the player. From that point you could dock the dashboard to your screen and open up other files or whatever you wanted to do with the player, so long as you didn't close MSN, after you closed MSN you'd have to repeat the process.

iCe| Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 there is no need to leak it if you have msn 8 already, you can just update it in the software, by the way i can't get to the join.msn.com page, what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstorm Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Originally posted by iCe| by the way i can't get to the join.msn.com page, what gives? Because join.msn.com isn't up yet. It will be when MSN 8 becomes publicly available. The site is not done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brn2prgrm Posted September 24, 2002 Author Share Posted September 24, 2002 Update (15:26 - 9/23/02) - Added Money and Photos Plus home pages.. Update (17:54 - 9/24/02) - Added the New Screenshots to ZIP File.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdafuture Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Sorry, But that was not MSN Entertainment, that was MSN Local Channel provided by CitySearch.com...or City Guides. The MSN Channel will look similar to the MSN Music channel, because the same people are re-designing it, also the MSN Entertainment channel has hired about 40 more people to help make it better. So that's incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they aren't done. :) MSN Money will take on the MSN.com release 8 UI like the others. About 50% of the channels are complete now. MSN Money looks great! So does MSN Games! Still waiting on MSN Music, and Entertainment. Edit: did a search to find any MSN.com channels/sites that have updated w/ the 8 UI...
