WLMessenger Beta Gift


Recommended Posts

well while we are saying what we'd "like", Id like a 360. Hell theyd make the money back off the games so it might actually benefit them financially even though itd initially cost alot. Not exactly realistic but lol.

I really wouldnt mind getting nothing, getting on the beta was reward enough and now being added as a Live Butterfly is even cooler. Ohh and like other managed testers I didnt get an email.

The theme pack for WLM for all beta testers has been out for ages! I found it on google yesterday. So yes they did give people 4 free themes for all beta testers, but they are also sending everyone whos a beta tester something else, as why would they have asked for your shipping address if they were just going to send u an online theme lol.

That's "betaman" and it was given to Windows Live Mail beta testers but anyone can download it. The kung fu gift is for Windows Live Messenger beta testers that were invited by managed testers and only those who received the email from MS about it can download it. Only managed testers were asked to update their shipping info.

id be fine if nothign was sent also, i was suprised when i got the update addy email

but as far as the what we would like comment, the phone involves WLM, and WLM features, a 360 doesnt

Here but it won't do you any good if you didn't get the nod from MS to download it. Still, you can at least see what we are "missing".

I'm a managed tester but I fear I won't get a gift shipped to me unless they ship to P.O. boxes.

thats nice :p

but can someone share their addy?

why did they need us to update our address if this is all their giving us??

I think it was for the competition thing they had a while back, they gave away some free stuff then too..I can't remember what it was, a Xbox 360 game or something like that. I didn't win anything :p and I didn't get any gift from MS for been in the beta either :( oh well, sometimes your lucky sometimes your not :laugh:

just bits and byte (download only :s )

now if they at least packed it at least on cd and put some nice words with it on a sheet of paper or on the cd case... :(

well...

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
