Right, I've been under a rock so to speak :laugh: - which my forthcoming question will indicate :p

What is Windows Live Messenger?

This is what happens when you don't keep up with Microsoft betas ;)

Radish?

It's been a public beta since build 566 came out ;) That's nothing new.

The only new thing is the news about the refresh build coming within the next few days with the new UI and other new features. Honestly it's nothing new really. Once the screenshots showing the new UI leaked a couple weeks ago, they said the refresh would most likely be out in April.

@Radish™, The next version of msn messenger, under the live series. It will be called Windows Live Messenger 8, the last version was Msn Messenger 7.5 Major features include: a new ui, ability to talk to people while in appear offline mode and sharing folders.

I did hear they were going to have a UI refresh but I can't for the life of me remember. Anyway, I'm waiting patiently for the new build of Messenger though I am a bit peeved that WMP 11 hasn't even come out yet :blink: .

this would make the product better: tabbed convos, no ads, 3 way video convos (+fullscreen) and all the other ideas suggested by users on connect.microsoft.com

Damn right (Y)

I just pray that Microsoft stops thinking about a trivial part of the software like the UI (which most people will change anyway) and put something worthwile into Messenger.

Lol ... encrypted contacts, so no one steals my friends ... :laugh:

I'm glad its going to be encrypted :) It's pretty easy to find your e-mail and you don't even need to sign in or use the auto-save username feature :blink:

Imagine this, spyware or whatever it may be goes to that directory, scans the directory and gets your e-mail and sells them and spams them (its already bad as is).

Also if you save your chats all your contacts e-mails are in your received files folder under history, the only thing missing is the @domain part and i'm sure most of them are hotmail ;)

They are changing the UI again? :wacko: this is what the 3rd or 4th complete change? but with that said, if those pics posted earlier in this topic are infact what the new build looks like, I like it :cool:

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
