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.

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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
