Windows Live Messenger will be made available to the public in 8 days, Friday 16th June 2006. The successor to MSN Messenger 7.5, Windows Live Messenger is the first edition of the MSN Messenger brand to be released under the new 'Windows Live' moniker.

Windows Live represents Microsoft's biggest push into the Software-as-a-Service market, Windows Live Messenger is the first software package to be released out of Beta in the Windows Live range, Windows Live Search (Desktop), Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Live Toolbar are expected to follow this year.

So they're sticking with that fugly interface that doesn't fit in with any version of Windows whatsoever?

MSN/Windows Live Messenger hasn't resembled any version of Windows since 5.0. At least they've dumbed down on the clutter in the conversation windows (though that carousel or whatever in the main window is just useless IMO).

I don't think it's going to be released then, or I should say I don't think that they'll be releasing a build with Yahoo interoperability. If you go to the messengersays blog, you'll see that alot more testing has to be done on the interoperability before it's ready.

I htink they will keep the same UI as in the last beta version

Indeed it'll be the same UI as the current 689_branches build.

Im still missing an feature. On the old 7.x you could see everyone's DP in your contact window. But its gone! Snif

You can, in the contact list you can click the green double sided arrows and choose show details.

w00t, 8 more days till MSN Plus! :D

It's Messenger Plus! Live and I doubt Patchou will release it on the same exact day WLM is released.

Good :D I've been looking forward for the Yahoo-MSN integration, Can't wait to talk to my MSN friends on Yahoo Messenger :D

They're adding the Yahoo! Messenger interoperability into Windows Live Messenger for you to keep in touch with your Yahoo! Messenger friends via Windows Live Messenger, I don't know if Yahoo! is planning on adding the interoperability to add support for you to keep in touch with your Windows Live Messenger contacts via Yahoo! Messenger or not.

Didn't know ... Just though they were going to do the same thing, thanks for clearing things up.

Mind explaining how Yahoo! users will reply to the WLM users?

    • 10 games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Another Free Play Days offer has just landed, and this one is a unique one. On top of offering 10 games to jump into for Xbox players, all the titles are from a single publisher: No More Robots. The promotion has games like Little Rocket Lab, Spirittea, Descenders Next, Let's Build a Zoo, and much more. Almost every game in the selection does need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential subscription, so keep this in mind when browsing. Many of the titles are Xbox Play Anywhere titles though, so both Xbox console and PC players can jump in. Here's how the announcement blog post described some of the available titles: There is one game that's available to all Xbox players without the need for any subscriptions, which is Descenders. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Little Rocket Lab (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Spirittea (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Soccer Story (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Descenders Next (Game Preview) (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Let's Build a Zoo (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Hypnospace Outlaw (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Nowhere Prophet (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Family Man (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Descenders (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 7, at 11:59 pm PT.
