Unless "We were asked to keep it quiet for now, but of course we couldn't contain our excitement" is a realy false statement), let me say this: Change in UI, news features... very nice.... but the plain old simple stuff isn't even touched!! eg: sorting the groups (categories) in the way you want instead of forced alphabetical. And I bet that damn old privacy issue for group convos still exist too. And on top of that they now are going to integrate group chats even deeper in such a way that you probably aren't able to decline anything anymore or have a clue as to who reads what or can get private info from you (refering now to again another plain old privacy issue involving the friends of friends list).... I rather would see not much changes on the surface, but more changes on the small things which are always forgotten, those small things which would make the live of IM'ers way more beter than a fancy new UI... Let's hope further betas will improve on that... Sorry MS, but for now, I'm _not_ impressed (especially taking into consideration what has been discussed on the last mvp summit)...

I think the important thing to acknowledge is the fact that this is just that, a non public release build. Which means that anything can change with regards to it, and as illustrated in the past (referring to the yellow coloured messenger) this have. So with regards to Patchou matching the new build, it really serves to point cause for all we know, it might be wpf in the future, which means that stuff would need to be re-worked from the ground up...

I remember when my own website, MessengerMad, started getting some exclusive information from the developers and we posted screenshots of the upcoming version we received DMCA notices. When a member of the development team sends you a copy of an internal beta, it's not meant to be spread throughout the internet. This is why the majority of the Messenger beta testers are looked down upon. Since v7, I cannot remember a build that was released to testers that was not leaked to the internet.

Well testers of Plus! know each other and are all in the same community. They can be trusted more while the beta testers of Messenger are strangers and are chosen mostly by their experience. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by absorbation on 08-15-2008 at 02:53 PM I got a DMCA once, because someone posted a comment linking to a leaked beta.

quote:I don't understand that you don't understand this... For starters they (MS) don't attack at all. It is a standard notice which everybody should get when they leak stuff, no matter who it is. Afterall you are leaking internal information from a coorperation. Companies could sue you for such stuff, luckaly MS doesn't take it that far. quote:Not at all, not even in the smallest way. The information was INSIDE information, NOT meant for the outside world. They do not block stuff which is meant for the public, they block stuff which is their own inside information. Major difference. ANY company would do something about it when information is leaked. quote:The more stuff is leaked the less chances you will have to know something. It is that easy! If a company knows that if they give out some information to some trusted people (eg: beta testers, butterflies, ...), it will get leaked, then it is quite obvious that the company wouldn't be so quick anymore to give out some more information. So blame everybody who ever leaked some information. They are the real reason why MS is keeping their mouth shut and relunctant to give any more information or to give beta testers some news or things to try out. ---------------------------------------------- MS has all the right in the world to send a DMCA notice. In fact, IMO, they don't even do it enough or take it far enough. It doesn't matter who leaked it, Mess.be or not. There shouldn't be any leaks to begin with. If you are given something in trust then keep it to yourself!!!! Is it that hard to understand? Leaking is bad, and it is funny how often the same kind of people complain that MS doesn't give beta testers more inside stuff. Well, would you, if you almost know for certain that the info is going to get leaked?? I don't think so.... All those stupid leakers should sleep well in the knowledge that for their 2 seconds of fame they actually punish everybody else and especially those who do know how to keep things given to them in trust and are serious about such stuff. Well done people. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by absorbation on 08-16-2008 at 08:21 PM
But Cookie I believe all press and the Internet should be free to express themselves. If newspapers were forced not to publish articles or news stories because one corporation said so, there would be a extreme grey area. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by vaccination on 08-16-2008 at 08:39 PM Not like we have freedom of speech or anything though ;o RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by CookieRevised on 08-16-2008 at 09:22 PM
quote:You are confusing two very different things. When a beta tester recieves a beta to test out, or gets a preview of what MS is busy with, then that is NOT, I repeat NOT, a 'news bulletin' which he might publish! Being a beta tester involves working with classified information! A beta tester is NOT a news reporter. A news reporter is someone who might receive information and it is his job to publish this. A beta tester his job is to NOT publish classified information. This has got absolutely NOTHING todo with freedom of speech, principle, or whatever else you can come up with. I challenge you to publish some inside information from any other company you work with and you would know this difference in a hard beat. Again, leaking such information has got NOTHING, absolutly NOTHING todo with newsletters, or right to publish information. It has EVERYTHING to do with you abusing the trust that MS puts in you. When they give you anything because you are a beta tester, buttefly or other trustworthy person it means they give it to YOU as a beta tester under NDA. That means that if you publish this in any form you ARE doing illegal things and you DO break their trust. You can come up with any excuse you like, the thing remains that leaking is breaking trust. I bet you don't go flapping around what you're girlfriend/boyfriend said to you the other day either? Wait, or let me make an article about it and let's publish it because "I have a freedom of speech" or whatever.... If you don't want MS (or Patchou for that matter!) telling you what to post and what not, and if you can't even make that distinction than you shouldn't be a tester AT ALL! And you shouldn't be trusted with ANY information (including Plus! beta's), because who knows what you might publish. THAT is the principle... Leaking such stuff is LAME, STUPID, CHILDISH and any other superlative I can't come up with atm, no matter who you are, no matter if the info comes from MS, Patchou, or whatever other company. And I hope Inky and Dwergs read this too, being an MS internal or MVP or not (in fact it makes things even worse). Yes, it is that strongly I feel about. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by absorbation on 08-16-2008 at 09:29 PM
I stick to my principle policy. When a government report is leaked, newspapers freely published its contents. I remember the outrage when a website famous for leaking reports was ordered to be shut down. Although, I bet the website was a general nuisance to government workings, in fact I wrote an essay on the matter and got full marks for it, it doesn't give them the right to stop it either. Despite I know it causes great problems when information is leaked, and can be costly to repair, it doesn't mean any company, organisation or government has the right to stop any form of media from talking about it. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by ShawnZ on 08-16-2008 at 09:30 PM WLM was leaked, the world is going to end! RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by CookieRevised on 08-16-2008 at 09:34 PM
Again, you are given such information as a BETA TESTER, NOT as a news reporter!!!!!!!!!! And you should treat it as such. If you fail to make that distinction, or you don't even know what the difference is then you should NOT be a beta tester, butterfly, Plus! tester, etc, at all since you obviously can NOT be trusted with inside info... If MS knows you are going to publish it anyways, they wouldn't give you that info in the first place*! RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by ethanp on 08-16-2008 at 09:55 PM
you're both looking at it differently - absorbation from a reporter's point of view (one who is not a tester, who seeks new information to publish ("A news reporter is someone who might receive information and it is his job to publish this")) and cookierevised from a beta tester's point of view, he who should not leak the information RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by CookieRevised on 08-16-2008 at 10:30 PM

Cookie you're missunderstanding the point. Absorbation isn't the one leaking the information, he's not the beta tester who is supossed to keep the info under wraps. He's a guy who's found out some info that someone else has leaked, MS has no control over who he tells that information, he's under no obligation to keep it quiet. So, like a newspaper, he has the freedom to do what he wants with it. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by CookieRevised on 08-16-2008 at 10:52 PM
I understand the point more than you know. And if you own a site/server on which leaked info is published, you are responsible too! It is even listed in the contract you sign when you use a hosting service that they can do whatever they want when you break the contract (by publishing or letting publish leaked private stuff). If you don't agree with it then don't use them as a hosting service. Although you will have a hard time finding a company who would allow such stuff. Absorbation is therefor also responsible for what other people write as a comment on his site (no matter if you have a disclaimer or not!). And his host can take his site down because of it. But that's another (though similar) discussion, which we had before. quote:Sorry, but no. I'm very reluctant to say this but this is oh so typical internet-talk. In the real world he has not the right to do whatever he wants with it, even if he got that information from a 3rd party! The info still is and always will be the trade property of MS, and that gives them the right to take action. No matter if I, you or he likes it or not. quote:There is nothing "general knowledge" about the info he posted and certainly not what has been posted by Inky! It is private knowledge. You're twisting things around. The reason you might think it is "general knowledge" is exactly because it got leaked. It became so called "general knowledge", it was never general knowledge to begin with. And as for the info Inky posted: if he didn't posted that nobody would know about this new design at all anyways. I serioulsy fail to see what general knowledge that is... quote:Rude? Threatening? If you think so..., but I think we all can be glad it just stays with a simple notice. Because they do have the right to take it way further than that. And then what.... ---------- Again, I like to take the comparisson with Plus! betas and the info Patchou posts to his testers. Nobody of the current testers is going to publish any information given be him in his emails without his approval. The same probably goes for MDL, SP, etc... And everybody understand this. Why is it that hard to understand this is the exact same thing for stuff posted by MS to its testers? RE: RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by andrewdodd13 on 08-16-2008 at 11:14 PM
quote:Governments are supposed to be transparent organisations: they rule the country, and make decisions which affect every single individual in that country, which makes it a special case. Some screenshots of Microsoft's latest product isn't exactly important. In fact, it's a trade secret. quote:The government does not have this right for the above reason. In theory, you are infringing copyright by uploading screenshots. As for "leaked details" I guess it's not particularly covered, but then this information was gleaned from those illegal screenshots.

quote:If I would be developing a product that is really important in this business sector (yes, it is all about business), I too would be upset about having confidential information being published preliminarily. It would exactly mean that I cannot trust someone of my testers group, which is equal to having a security problem within the company. Any company having someone inside who spreads non-disclosable information (does not even have to do with Web and virtual goods, also refers to industrial companies, such as car manufacturers) - any company with such a person would do their best to find that person and he would have been employee for them for the longest time. Depending on the importance of the spread (leaked) information, they would even consider taking him into court as it is a (rather smaller or bigger) loss for the company to have information under development already available to the end consumers. This can even strike through marketing strategies with big investments, and force the company to start to work again on areas that would have been ready to be released when the other areas were finished, in order to recreate a new invention not already known by the public. So, this all is basically about a product to be placed on a market with rather big competition. Windows Live Messenger is not the only or the best IM product, but there are ICQ, AIM, and whatever their names are, alongside with those multi-protocol messenger clients and web-based clients (which, by the way, are not authorized by Microsoft and thus abusing their protocol that they reverse-engineered, which, I am sure, is forbidden by the Microsoft Windows Live Terms of Use). So, in order to be able to survive on the IM client/IM network market, Microsoft and the Windows Live Development Team need to create really good (and most important, fresh- and new-looking) software, and therefore it is a rather big beat into the face for them to have the public know their new design before they actually finish it.

As I said before, this is because Plus! etc choose reliable and responsible testers. MS should be more careful if they don't want this stuff leaked. I'm not saying it's right to leak information(which it certainly isn't), but it's not the fault of the public who aren't under any contracts etc, if information gets leaked and they then talk about it.

You realy do not have the right to do what you want with any information you've found when that information is part of a trade secret or similar act. This has got nothing todo with freedom of speech either. Freedom of speech means the right to express your own opinion without fearing prosecuation or being shut down. It does not mean you have the freedom to publish property of a company or publish trade secrets! RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 (2009) (14.0.3921.717) by vaccination on 08-18-2008 at 08:31 AM I see what you're saying. I'm undecided whether I think that should be the case or not though.

I was told you had to be a beta tester to use the "14.0.3921.717" build (like last time you had to be a beta tester to log in). How are these people beta testers..? quote:"pluslive-3.70.334" only works with the older versions of messenger (7.5 and below).

Oh, btw, absorbation, quite frankly I hope you get a DMCA notice again, because you're aiding in spreading the leak. And this time it is not some 'user comment' which you can hide behind. I gave you the benefit of doubt and tried to understand your arguments before, but it appears you don't care at all that this gets leaked and spread or not.

Why? because I do take such things very seriously as trust, giving your word and sticking to it, and I don't like people who do all innocent and following the rules while they actually (try to) do the exact opposite or abusing the system by using 'backdoors'.

I downloaded it, installed it and tried it out. I dislike the feel of it. The contact list could have been designed so much better with little extra effort IMO. The chat window was nicely done though and can't wait to see what designs they come up with in future builds.

quote:Sure, and that justifies everything now does it? Everything gets hacked these days, so lets just hack all of your accounts. Read the small print, plus know the fact that genuine testers are punished because of all this since MS will trust them less and less and wants to minimize the risk more and more, and thus wont let genuine testers have so much access to stuff or inside information anymore. Which in the end results in having less time to find and report bugs in the wild, which on its turn means a less 'stable' client for _you_ to use!!! In essence you're not only punishing all of the butterflies, mvp's and other genuine testers, but you're also punishing yourself by seriously tampering with the proper and normal development of the program if you leak stuff or link to leaked stuff. Good job by being so shortsighted in that case... If nobody would leak stuff, then there would be a whole lot more private betas you could get in to as there would be far more chances any person would be accepted in to a private beta (eg: you, or anyone else who wants to get in to a private beta but isn't accepted now for whatever reason).

@Willz, I'm not so much argumenting against those who _use_ a leaked beta (although that isn't without consequences either), but far more about those who aid in the _spreading_ of leaked stuff, in whatever way. quote:So is your account and private data (eg: bank account). So because it is just a bunch of binary data I can just do whatever I want with it? quote:Of course I'm not going to die because of it, but It sure DOES affect me or what I do as a hobby!!! And I'm may not loose money out of it (although indirectly I will, but I wont go into that as that is non of your bussiness) but MS sure will.
