tomwarren Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2007 fake?http://liveandbeyond.com/ Seems like a minor blog and is cleary written by someone who is misinformed and who doesn't have a clue about the MSN waves. 8.5 is very much real and has been planned for a while now, there will be an official beta shortly. Unfortunately this leak was from a private MVP beta. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the mvp responsible should loose his privlages Whilst I agree, MS haven't put the server protection on for this .5 release so it's clearly only going to be UI updates and fit and finish instead of any new features so it doesn't matter to them as much.
