Windows Live Messenger Out 16th June 06!

i wish my skins will work

There's quite a few in the making, once WLM is out we'll see more getting released.

That just means we're closer to MSG Plus! Live! :D Can't wait

Anyone wondering what our beta test "prize" is? :s

It's good, trust me :yes:

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

;)

The logic in people's messages here is exonerating. :p

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

But the display picture is huge! It's not how it use to be in 7.5, I know many who hate this in the current build of wlm8. I hope this changes but I doubt it.

Also about the Yahoo being implemented into MSN, it's not likely to be in 8.0 if its going to be released next week, more like 8.1/8.5 which ever route they take on that. IF it does get released with Yahoo next week the developers won't be sleeping till then.. lol

There's a lot of issues with Yahoo implemented into MSN right now apprently. Some issues are, people are on msn and on away but appear online to yahoo messenger users AND another one is able to exchange text messages only, no files (so no Sharing Folders either), no Winks, no audio/video, etc. This is mentioned on mess.be

I just tried WLM8 in Vista... now I see what you meant by that. That's a feature I liked in 7.5 (not considering half the time I'd have to manually click on everyone's contact card to force the DPs to load).

Stuff like this makes me kinda wonder whom the Messenger team really listens to. Which smart ass came up with the idea of winks and paid packs anyway?

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Winks and packs = more customization = revenue for Microsoft :) lol

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. They asked us to update our shipping address.

[xpgeek]

Will be a new build or same as last beta marked as final?

[Saymaad Mansoor]

comes out on my birthdayyyyy :D and last day of exams

Well a good birthday gift for you & travis.cd then (from Microsoft)

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. They asked us to update our shipping address.

Where the heck they asked ? and to whom ?

[thebigl3bowski]

This isn't extremely important but this is not the first of the Windows Live lineup to be released. Windows Live One Care was released last week.

[Scirwode]

That's good news :D . But it still limited to text messages as there are no audio/video capabilities between WLM and Yahoo! Messenger :( . Oh well, on to the next version :cool: .

PSG22?

[viciv]

sigh..i see no hope for the 4-way video chat...

anyway, it's good news that a stable build will be available soon :)

Oh? :| any details?

[BryanChung]

but MSNplus not ready ?

[redeemed]

It may not fit with windows, but I think it looks quite nice.

I second that.

[evo0o]

Actually, I'm fine without Messenger Plus! however I hope Apatch will be out as soon as possible, I hate those stooooopid ads on the contact window. Talk about bloat-ware.

[Saadu]

^ Correct term is 'Adware'

Err because I am too use to the Tabbed Conversation that comes with MSNplus .. that's why :yes:

[Raven_Nights]

That just means we're closer to MSG Plus! Live! :D Can't wait

Anyone wondering what our beta test "prize" is? :s

My guess is a USB phone to use with the pc2phone feature. Only a guess though.

[tiagosilva29]

How are they going to distribute it? 32+64 or separate versions?

[L3thal Veteran]

This date isn't accurate.

You just busted the bubble for everyone here :p

[evo0o]

Oh enlighten us on the date. :p

It won't, I submitted it as a bug and it was closed as by design sadly.

This date isn't accurate.

Shh, everyone's eye is off the ball :yes:

[illicit]

It may not fit with windows, but I think it looks quite nice.

Yeah, I am with you on that.

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Yea i did too and got the same answer back :(

I hate those "by design" reasons.. lol

The prize was the winks...I dont think its anything else...

My guess is a USB phone to use with the pc2phone feature. Only a guess though.

haha....Oh god thanks for the laugh...

I think people abused too much with the Logitech webcam thing and now we're only getting winks and crap.
