Yep, I just got the email as well :)

AWESOME!!! i wonder why i didnt get the email.......THANKS :laugh:

[nazgul]

Huh. That's not half bad, really. Shame I don't really use Y! to talk to more than two people. No point to use a single protocol client for that...

[Wanderermy]

I got the email too

[s0nic69]

wow, been using it for a few minutes, and its so nice not to see all the ads, and all the plug ins!! wow, it looks so clean!!! :D im sure they will be adding all the junk later :( hope they give the option to keep it clean.... anyways, its looks really nice, just need the things that have been excluded from the preview.

i just now got the email :) glad that they didnt forget me :p

[:: Lyon ::]

Dang.. you are so quick.. I'm just about to post it :) downloading now

[Cloud Constructors]

downloading

[Luis.A]

Finally! :D .. woot!

EDIT:

OK now i'm kinda angry. This is what windows live messenger should have looked like for Vista. DAMN shame that MS does'nt have a good team designing their GUI.

[ZonoBurk]

FINALLY!!!!

[:: Lyon ::]

I hope all the hype is worth it.. going to install this at home in about an hour.. although I'm not sure if this can replace my WLM

[ObiWanToby]

Wow the memory footprint is low, but man...the performance sucks

[s0nic69]

am i the only one who is getting a weird slow reaction from the main preferences menu? jw cuz that is the only performance issue i am having. what performance problems are u having Intelman?

[Premgenius]

Dam! Should have posted it in the forum instead of submitting this into the Newsdesk....LOL

Scrolling in it is slow, animations are slow, like popout windows and whatnot. I think it is Microsoft's fault, Switcher has the same issues.

[ZonoBurk]

Buggy. I hate that you have to edit contact info from the web. WTF?

[:: Lyon ::]

It is kinda overhyped lol or at least not ready yet.

and I thought I can use this to login to my live account as well (see my msn/wlm friends) ..oopsie.. back to WLM then, as I don't really chat with my yahoo account

Got this in an email from Yahoo!

[MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Finally - after a 1-and-a-half year teaser on that website!

I like it, but it needs work.

Preferences screen - I was like what the hell???? But then I realized that it's a Beta, after all .... the first beta.

Hmm methinks Yahoo Mess for Vista is gonna be 9.5 or to that matter lol.
