@hotmail.com, @msn.com used to be part of the Microsoft .NET Passport Network, later renamed the "Microsoft Passport Network", and now, instead of all of those accounts being Microsoft Passports, they're Windows Live IDs.

So when you say you used an "msn ID", you're wrong - all you used was a Windows Live ID with a @msn.com domain.

ok my bad, no big deal. i made a mistake in my post. dont be trying to cause trouble people on neowin

It's weird. If i use en-us setting for IE, i get a link on the messenger site file://transfer/transfer/ajenks/Install_Messenger.exe

If i use en-au setting however, i get http://g.msn.com/1csbeta/Mess80_EN , the normal beta link.

And is it just me, when I'm using en-us setting, http://get.live-int.com redirects me to ideas.live.com. I encountered ONCE that the page actually loaded, as Ambroos said.

Yes, I think I get some more broken links than the rest in this thread, because my Swedish locale attempts to host me localized pages. But some pages actually do work, and then they're fully localized. :)

Basically, it's not too weird. They're simply hosting pages differently depending on your locale to adapt the content best for you, and now on this unfinished website, not all localized content is done, so they might just serve you a regular page instead of a new experimental one.

Just found new download link!!! Now checking build number...

Same build as before but there are new links which will later provide access to the real final!

http://g.msn.com/8reen_us/EN/INSTALL_MSN_MESSENGER_DL.EXE (ENGLISH)

http://g.msn.com/8reen_us/NL/INSTALL_MSN_MESSENGER_DL.EXE (DUTCH)

Replace EN or NL with any other language.

My locale is set to Australia. Now here's my question:

Install_Messenger_nous.exe (14.5MB)

Install_Messenger.exe (15.3MB)

I got presented with two different links above. Why is there two versions with different file sizes? They're both from official site. What's the difference? :rolleyes:

The bottom one is a US one while the top on is an Non US one, maybe the US has added stuff in it

Yea...that's my question. I wonder what exactly is the "added stuff"? Seeing they're both English what can make up the extra 0.8MB in the US version?

I notice that the Netherland version (the link posted from a few post before) is also 14.5MB.

I think the added US stuff is the Rhapsody music service, not 100% sure though.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
