Seriusly ? you use THAT and you say WLM9 was designed by an amateur ? .....

are you sure you posted theright screenshot...

SRSLY!

Yahoo Messenger for Vista has far better design. That should be quite obvious.

Can you seriusly tell me what you like about WLM 9? I might be missing something.

YEs, I do, especially over that abomination to design that is YiM. The only reason anyone ven likes that is becauseof transparency, but really, the only transparency that could save that itnerface is 100% all over.

I'm getting "windows Live Communications Platform has Stopped Working" when i run Messenger 9.0 :( Does anyone know whats cauding it? tried installing and uninstalling and nothing.

My WL Photo gallery has been crashing like crazy ever since I installed it. Not even once it has stayed up. Also saw the com. platform error after one crash which took down everything else (Mail, messenger) with it.

The available "solution" blames the crash on Xvid which I don't even have on this system(only ffdshow AFAIK). Going to try and install latest version of it.

Does Messenger support tabbed chat's yet?

Not in this version :).

I quite like the look of Messenger - it's much better than 8.5, which was bad enough to make me go back to 8.1. It's a pity Messenger Plus! doesn't work yet, otherwise I would switch right away.

But is it just me or does Messenger still not have a high-resolution icon? The Wave 3 Installer doesn't seem to have one either. I realise this is still a beta, but that's just inexcusable...

Not everything in this world is made for high resolution screens. Get used to it my friend. The icon looks fine.

Wish there was a standalone installer for WLM9

If there's high demand for it, I'll gladly host them for you all. Anyone else wanting the standalone installers?

Realizing that these are freely on liveside....whats going on with the managed beta? Mine still says pending. Anyone actually in it?

Check your inbox and newgroup account :).

Can this be installed over the older Live products? Or do I have to manually uninstall them?

Yes, they'll automatically be updated.

It doesn't feel as nice for me... The default colour changing doesn't work, it only changes it for that window, not every other window or the toasts.

The interface is too spread out for my liking too... the convo windows have way too much space devoted to the DP bit, I don't maximise windows and the smallest box on the screen is the actual convo box if I show DPs.

Also, do custom smileys work for anyone else? I lost all mine in the upgrade and now they don't work in convos :(

Sharing folders back would be nice too :p

The color changing does indeed work, just not for conversation windows because they now go by what your contacts have as their "theme".

Or you just could megaupload the Messenger installer yourself and post it here for the rest of us.

Thanks man. Thanks a lot! I like to get my hands dirty. :D

Haven't tried it yet, waiting for Plus! and Mess Patch updates for it but for a few months now I have feared the load running Messenger is beginning to put on my system and as much as it kills me, I think I may go on to use Adium or Miranda or the equivalent following Messenger 9's final release.

It just all depends on how much more my computer needs to work when running it.

MSN 2009? What is this you speak of? lol

EDIT: And what's with the required Java applet install, Mr One Post Wonder?

Ok, ok... Windows Live Messenger 2009 (9) Beta (last one)... patch.

Remove all crap stuff and enable polygamy. Working great here.

Yeah, its a Java Applet. Run it and have fun :p

EDIT: yeah yeah... Mr One Post MY ASS... next time I'll not tell anyone, ok? Cya next life

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
