Windows Live Messenger Build 683 Leaked

[HoochieMamma]

Dammit man, you got my hopes up.

[MiamiGuy]

Just get the skin that makes it look like the new interface. Looks pretty nice. :)

Microsoft is working to take down those Screenshots

no thier not...

I thought Chris from LiveSide is working for Microsoft? :huh:

lol nope :p LiveSide.net is not affiliated with Microsoft

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

i agree they would, but you never know, some of them might be on the way :D

I belive that those SS are fakes... Actually in mess.be was published that it was a fake maded for april's fools...

no mess.be posted that build .614 that was floating around on the internet was a skin made by someone. The skin was based on the screenshots posted on liveside :)

[DreadBoat89]

idk... i also think that that is fake...

[Blaxje]

lol nope :p LiveSide.net is not affiliated with Microsoft

Why does he have all the latest info and exclusive screenshots. :o

[anonymousjon]

:| I juat told you..they are not fake

Why does he have all the latest info and exclusive screenshots. :o

if they told us they would have to kill us :shiftyninja:

[ViperSnake]

Sorry about the confusion...

[anonymousjon]

Hope it's real ... looks kinda cool. But what's with the text "Branches" at the end of the version number?

Branches signifies its an internal build :)

[RevoDS]

Branches signifies its an internal build :)

Thought it signified it was being prepared to release...somewhat like IDX builds of Vista, which are branches of the main builds ;)

MSN Today is an important feature :pinch: why don't they add some important feature like high-res/multi-party video conference ?

because their servers are overloaded :rolleyes:

its not like ur video stream picks a p2p way...oh thatd be cool...

why do u think were i able to run my webcam at 20 fps in full resolution back when that feature got beta tested, but nowadays get like... 3 fps? :D

-fm

[anonymousjon]

it would be great to have a group video conference feature, but don't think it will be coming.

[Eredain]

Maybe the beta doesn't have too many ads, but seeing Windows Live Mail (great but slower than Gmail because ads) they are going to put the ads again.

Thats the dumbest excuse I have ever heard. Why can they send 1000's of people a beta of Vista weighing at >2GB at over ~1MB/sec each, how much bandwidth could a 3 way convo really use 30-40KB/sec up/down? Also, why can't they just bypass the microsoft servers and do direct connection to each user?

You know what I realised the other day? Build 614 that was released (The program...NOT the official screenshots) can be looked at as: 2006, the first of the fourth month (April). 06/01/04 OR 614.

I found it kinda cool.

But anonymousjon is right. The screenshots are NOT fake. The released build is. That goes for you :No-Frost:. You posted that it was fake in my thread when it was confirmed real on many occasions.

Again. Released Program that you see people using: FAKE but based on FACT. Pictures on LiveSide.net about the future of WLM: FACT.

EDIT: Build 683 Preview!!!!

It looks nice :D

how do you think file transfer works ? :sleep: ...video stream works beautifully via p2p...I use both skype(win) and ichat ...server load is not the reason for sure. I am not sure if I can call WLM people as unaware of market, but its their focus on trivial features, that bugs me the most. (think, skins for WLMail before making sure it works across all browsers for new UI).

[em3]

I'm looking forward to this new build. It looks good.

[afterlife]

those screenshots look nice :D

Wasn't this posted on Mess.be earlier this week? :/

Since when is changing one window to another because of a name change a feature? o.O

[dinner123]

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 ;)

thats another thing that could do with updating. WLM/MSN chat logs are rubbish. Messenger Plus Live ftw

[Scirwode]

[Gavin001]
