@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.

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
