Yay, got my invite! I'm in! (Ok, I'm a butterfly anyways...)

Now waiting to get my ineternet connection back.

We moved so we lack of DSL at the moment.

I got into the beta, but now I only have one laptop which I use for personal use and not another computer, I do not want to download it in case it isn't stable enough :(

To dr.bisho:

Yes we could wait till the full stable, but that is not going to be released until at least the end of 2008, maybe the beginning of 2009. That was confirmed by LiveSide and official Windows Live team members. The evidence is also in the beta as in the "About" dialog it is called "Windows Live Messenger Version 2009". So you could wait, but you'll be waiting at least a year :)

Guys I'm not being a jerk but keep talk of the new build to the Microsoft beta newsgroups.

If you read your invite info from MS you'd know this is not a public build and isn't to be discussed.

They are watching for testers who are violating so they know who to kick.

they dont care. shockez posted who cares about the NDA, and bangbang posted screenshots both again agenst the NDA. i reported them to microsoft. by bye peope

Posting that makes you just seem condescending and like you really don't want to be here at all, so why should we (the forumgoers) listen?

Bangbang posting pictures. Those were then removed after Neobond talked to contacts in Microsoft, it was a mutual decision, not forceful.

Shockz posted telling people to quit mentioning the NDA, not to act like it doesn't exist. Everyone knows there is an NDA, its been mentioned at least 30 times in this thread alone, there is no reason to keep mentioning it.

I do however think that the topic should be closed. The invites have been sent, those accepted know it. There are no public invitations, and this thread has served its purpose for the curious. Now it will just devolve into begging for invites and arguments.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
