Windows Live Messenger Build 683 Leaked

[Mad_Griffith]

well, concerning emoticons, I think that the user should be given the possibility to edit the default ones. And, yes, an "install emoticon pack" feature would be useful as well!

Excited about the new UI, but everything else is (N)

Exactly! :yes:

I don't know, I quite liked it though there are a few bugs that annoy me. Some of them are:

• Tab Convo. Where are they? IE7 has already got tabs so why can't WLM have tabs? It would sure save space on the taskbar, and also separate it from the other IM messengers offered on the internet.
  
• When you change the colours, the conversation window doesn't change much or not at all. It doesn't look nice for me and annoys me a lot.
  
• Windows Live Today. Why they had to bring back this useless feature is a mystery to me. Have they gone bonkers or are they just trying to torture us?
  
• Some of the icons do not look as polished as the others. Open the Contact Card and see the sharing folder on the bottom left of the screen to see what I mean.
  
• Windows Live Messenger logo. You can see it is a bit jagged on the edges but I expect it will be replaced once it is out of beta.
  
• 3 Way video would be nice although I have never had a stable video connection from Malaysia to London. I suggest they should improved that department first before branching out.
  

The UI is impressive for me but I still think it needs a bit more work for it to function properly. I'm eagerly waiting the next version of WLM 8 Beta :D :yes: .

lol no they wouldn't. This is just another way to get rid of the competition. More people using WLM = better for Microsoft obviously. Google are their biggest rivals, and there's no way they'd team up.

Anyway...I can sign into WLM with my Gmail account regardless, so it doesn't really matter.

it is for looking at what other people are playing, but it doesnt seem to work for what you are playing

does for me!

Am I missing something here???

Its an internal build that leaked, its not one for us testers! (officially) :cool:

[Blaxje]

Speaking of style, I can't stand these 3 things.

The WLM icon at the top of the contact list (looks ugly and old compared to the rest of the layout)

This will change in the final version. Will be replaced with the new Live-logo. :)

May I know where can the official tester for Live Messenger download this new build from? Or is it not available for all testers except for a small group? :o

Edit: Saw the links on the first posts. :)

Is the 683 build really buggy?

It's the most stable build yet :D. At least it doesn't crash everytime I close the window like it did in previous builds.
