I got it also...

BETA? No thanks, the final versions of WLM are bad enough :omg:

you do know the whole point of a beta is to help test it, submit bugs so the FINAL can be smooth and have great performance. ;)

Betas arnt just peaces of software you use for the fun of it. :rolleyes:

w00h00 i'm in!!!

Does anyone know what's in 9?

not much because its an early bulid. I'm taking its the same internal build that Microsoft is using right now in the live labs. may be a few MINOR changes...

i used caps for minor because since its so early the minor changes may be hard to see or arnt that important such as an icon color of icon etc.

How do i get Live messenger 9 Beta???? i want it to

Well you would have to wait for the public beta if you didn't get an invite. We can not give out the invite IDs.....

If you want to be able to participate in feature betas (for free) go to http://connect.microsoft.com and sign up with your live ID. Fill out the survey and then sign up for any beta you want submit bugs and feedback. The more you do this, and the better they are the more of a chance Microsoft will let you test more things and may be even larger betas such as SP1 for vista.

is it just me or are you doing MS's dirty work finding bugs, then letting them take all the credit?

irony.

well, a lot use WLM and micrsoft's job isnt just to find all the bugs..... We use WLM, so we need to submit bugs we find and feedback. Feedback is good, it helps tell Microsoft what we want in their programs so they can make it better and we can be happy.

No offense, but your attitude tells me that you are lazzy..

No, MS is doing the dirty work and fixing the problems that the beta testers find, so that it can be released faster (more testers = more bug reports = more bugs Microsoft knows about), and so they sort of deserve the credit, since they do all of the programming.

Now I just wish they would do something about the Mac version.

You dont always do things for a reward, We are the "unsung/unrecognised heroes of the software industry" :p

For those with no invites, Bad luck unless you are a Current butterfly not all got a email invite (Like me)

There were 2 codes to signup released BU-xx and BUT-xx. BUT is for Butterfly only and not to be shared, BU can be shared (technicly not supposed to) however there is a signup limit imposed on that code which is going fast so if you got the email and havent signed up yet do so ASAP.

Just remember that this version/beta is not going to be as polished/stable as the other recent MSN beta's have been, so if that isnt for you wait a little for the public beta.

+1

seems Janitor doesnt know how beta testing works.... you dont just open a program and put together an applaction in 5 mins and have it open for download. Microsoft needs outside help. Because each person uses messenger differently, they need help with finding bugs in every type of use.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
