TRILLIAN 5 FOR WINDOWS PUBLIC BETA:

* Trillian 5 is a new "major release" and Pro customers will need to purchase a new license at a discount. Our 30 day pricing protection has been enabled from the point of our first announcement, meaning 30 days before July 1st, 2010. Therefore, if you purchased Pro anytime after June 1st, 2010 you've already got Trillian 5! Licenses are still on sale during our beta and will return to full price upon final release.

* Synchronized activity history is not yet ready for this build and will be unveiled in a future beta build of Trillian 5. We are still hard at work on the backend to make this possible.

* We will immediately begin the process of fixing bugs and tweaking features for Trillian 5.

* Dark theme lovers: a black theme is on the way!

* News on Trillian for Android public beta is coming next!

I think it's stupid they're charging people for v5 for people who bought Astra.. I mean I seriously JUST BOUGHT Astra. :angry:

How long ago did you buy it? If its within a reasonable time I believe you are eligible for a free upgrade.

They need to make money to pay the developers of the software, you cannot just expect them to hand you everything for free.

Loving Trillian 5, soon as PayPal fixes my account will get my upgrade for Pro!

April 19th of THIS YEAR.

And I bought my friends two copies of it too.

That was what, almost four months ago? You really expect it for free? I could truly understand if it was last week, two weeks ago, or even last month.. but it was four months ago!

Besides, Cerulean Studios is not forcing you to upgrade right now. Astra support will last for a while. Heck, they still (for now) support 3.1! If you truly feel that you do not want to spend the money to upgrade then just wait a few months.

This is a beta...there should be no pro version. Let people pre-order if they want by all means, but to ask your paying customers to have to pay again to use a beta? That's just ridiculous, it's like asking you to pay for testing their software.

During the Astra beta everyone had pro accounts.

That is true, but you are also pre-ordering your upgrade license. I half expected them to at least allow Astra Pro users to have Pro features.

Its not like you wouldn't be paying for it when it came out as final if you wanted those features.

MSN Avatars aren't updating for me, they are all placeholder ones?

Don't seem to be having that problem. Haven't seen much mention of it on the Cerulean Studios Forums either. Did you happen to have a previous version of Trillian installed prior to installing the Public beta? If so, try uninstalling it and running CCleaner. :)

Yeah I did, just looked again and some avatars are showing while most aren't.

Hmm.. perhaps they are just taking there time on updating? I know I generally had to talk to people first (while they were online) before their avatars would update for me on Trillian 4.0-4.2.

Yeah looks that way,

one annoyance is that you can only have global tabbed chats, or by contact list group, why not by service? :/

Well, its not feature complete. Why not suggest it to Cerulean Studios? Sounds like a good idea to me. Anyways, glad to see you at least know how to get rid of your issue. As annoying as it may be.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
