EXCLUSIVE!: MSN 8 Beta 2 Screenshots + Face Lifts!


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

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.

Because join.msn.com isn't up yet. It will be when MSN 8 becomes publicly available. The site is not done yet.

Unfortunately due to legal reasons and complications last time I will not be doing a leak of anymore beta builds. I will however, keep you guys updated with some screenshots and whatnot.

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.

Forgot to reply to this b4. 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...

MSN TerraServer

MSN Wallet (replaces the .NET Passport Wallet)
