UI-wise I love Microsoft Messenger for Mac. It looks extremely clean, has no adds whatsoever by default and isn't filled withtoo many useless features someone mentioned earlier. Downside is that it currently lacks Webcam and Audio support, but that's supposed to change according to Microsoft's MacBU.

It's too bad that with every update Microsoft completely throws Windows XP's UI overboard. While Messenger 8.5 and Media Player 11 look (more or less) at home on Windows Vista, they look like freaks on Windows XP.

Now when you have your XP customized to look like Vista ;)

Why hasn't a newsposter put this on the front page?

Because it's a beta only meant for internal use which has been leaked. It therefore qualifies as warez.

Haven't used MSN Messenger since version 6 a few years ago, far too satisfied with Skype..

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
