Staff is starting to annoy me... either SHARE the download so we can ALL update, or don't post screenshots! :angry:

Alright alright, I'm done. You'll have your time, soon enough :)

Honestly, the context of the postings does give it kind of a smug feel. Not saying anything definitively, but his views are understandable.

Hm, I kind of understand what you mean, but I don't have that build of Messenger and - as much as I really want it - I just understand that they've got it through other means I don't have access to and accept that; I don't get annoyed with them posting screenshots because it's human nature to flaunt what you have over others :p Some will do that, others won't, but there's no need to get stressed/annoyed/angry over it :)

... you get ran over by a few police cars that carry the GPU you want before it's publicly available? :D

:laugh: Sounds about right

Little known secret: I'm the lead developer of A-Patch.

Thanks.

Jesus Christ, what are all you guys getting worked up over? It is just another IM client, the days of "omg must have" have well passed for me, and you would think some of you would be a little more mature. It'll go RTW/final eventually and then everyone will have it.

Yeah, most of you are probably setting yourselves up for disappointment anyways.

Yea I checked out the leaked version and was not overly impressed with any of the new features, infact I found them more of an annoyance

The only good thing was the tabbed convos

Yessir!

Disagreed. The new messenger offers some very nice new functionality and usability over previous ones. Just because there's no "groundbreaking" stuff, doesn't mean it won't good. I'm loving the small things - transitions, nice UI, new designs... it all just fits together nicely now.

Edit: Oh, and the new Windows 7 stuff is awesome :D

I don't see the point to get all excited and manic over something that'll probably have some annoying bugs in it, personally. :pinch:

It's pretty unbuggy, kthx

It's the best one out there for Windows Live and is very anticipated... they haven't updated in a long time.

The leaked build was very unfinished. It was labelled as 'leaked' for a reason - they hadn't added all of the features and hadn't finished some features; it was leaked during development, so why judge what to expect from a final product by looking at a leaked version of it? :/

Fair enough, main things I didnt like were:

Messenger - massive messenger screen by default not just buddy list

Mail - much more difficult to send a picture as an attachment rather than a photo email

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
