russellc Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Guh. Ads. /me waits for A-patch or whatever patch comes first. The last Messenger that was decent was Windows Messenger 4.7, which I continue to use at work (XP). I don't think they have it or easily obtained for Vista (correct me if I'm wrong).

Paulstorm Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 ^ The survey for that is very broad. I'm not sure if it will really be for 8.5, I think they'll just invite previous wlm beta people like they always do. It is broad...but it isn't just for messenger...it is for all of the wave 2 windows live betas that will be managed. If you want in on the feedback loop/access to the newsgroups/future managed-only betas...sign up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.kvn Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 As far as I can see, with every new updated version of messenger the gui becomes slightly more shiny and this is no exception. Yes, it fits better with Vista but messenger is still a bloated, ad infested app. I know there are patches for it that 'remove' the ads and other mess's that enhance it's looks., but I would have thought by now that Microsoft's Messenger development team would have realised this and released a 'new' version. Rather than constantly redecorating a tired and jaded client, I would love them to work on a new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 ^ They wouldn't gain anything by releasing a version that doesn't get them any money. They are aware of the patches and they don't make updates to block them because they know that the large majority won't patch anyways, which is where the money comes from anyways.
