Got a new update for Windows live messenger 8.5 beta


Recommended Posts

Apparently there are no actual differences between this and the older build. When you look at the details for the update, it says:

Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta 1 Update 1

Installation date: ‎6/‎21/‎2007 8:09 PM

Installation status: Successful

Update type: Important

This update is being used to test how Microsoft Updates are distributed for Windows Live Messenger. While there are no actual changes to Messenger atit?s important for Messenger Beta testers to receive this updatehis update. Thanks for helping test Messenger!enger!

Also today I got an update for the Windows Update software. Which could be related to the Windows Live OneCare perpetual beta though.

Then why did they not put it on Connect and email beta testers becasue so far we haven't had a beta only build to properly test. I must say I am very impressed with the stability of the builds so far anyway just a let down they contradict themselves.

bah..who needs wlm betas anyway??......i uninstalled mine a while ago and switched to pidgin.....when the final release comes out....i may be reluctant to waste bandwidth for it..*sigh*......anyways can u mention any major ''improvements'''...the answer no!

...What?

Want to try that again in literate English? As I see what your lack of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation have done to you.

WLM may have some features that are not to your liking. Well, urm patch them out?

Stop being so pendantic and close minded. WLM looks prettier than your illiterate post does as well.

I wasnt saying that Microsoft/Windows Update puts out a fake but a couple of members could fake it.

we dont get emotional. its just when things are said a number of times, clearly and someone comes in and asks the question its like WTF? its al ready been said

though i do agree that some get crazy in here (like one time some one wanted everyone to sign a pention that will have neowin only open to 21 years and older)

WLM has got to be the only im client out there with a professtional looking UI. Also the look can apply to everyone: Tweens, Teens, adluts, old people, office workers. Everyone is happy.

i got the update too, and for proof i got a screen shot. I won't install it until a-patch has been updated.

I'm waiting for Mr. A-Patch to come online to begin patching it. I'm not upgrading until he has patched it either :)

why?

guys its just a update so they can test the microsoft update service with WLM. So in the feature you can download it automatically.

AS SAID, THERE ARE NO MAJOR CHANGES, LET ALONE ANY MINOR

i doubt there will be a patch..

If there are no changes, it will be easier for him to patch then, won't it :)

Who's to say when Microsoft will release the next build, it could be weeks or months. I doubt Ahmad would wan't us all to be apatch-less for months.

Oh and as a newcomer to this thread, it seems that southside has a little too much time on his hands. Coming back time after time making childish posts and not letting the matter drop. Get a life man.

large conbtacts?

click the two up and down arrows next to the add contact button and chose show contact detels

Oh wow, thats neat. Thanks for the tip. I only have 6 or 7 MSN contacts so it works well with that amount.

Also, I love A-Patch, its damn stable, been using it for years with no errors.

a-patch is great, didn't install the new build until a-patch was done. i still don't see the point of this IMPORTANT update

It's more or less just to eff around with being able to produce on-the-fly updates to smaller Windows programs. Just a test.

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
