alot of people are gonna move from messenger if thats the new look. it's ugly.

iv got some infomation from my friend who is a beta member he has told me a few things (im not going to leak them) but all those screenshots are fake everyone of them there is no way anyone could have msn 8.0 yet becuase even the beta testers haveny even got the beta yet

Believe it or not, I am downloading it officially from the MSN website:

Link Removed

This link is found on an official microsoft employee's blog btw. AND those screenshots sunny posted ARE from this microsoft employee's blog, they're not actually him. (he cannot sign in himself)

PM me if you don't believe me.

PS. although i downloaded it, i cannot sign in.

yer u can not sigh in becuase its not active yet

yep i totally agree with you with the cannot sign-in part because it is only available for beta (or internal) testers.

However, not being able to sign in doesn't mean the screenshots are fake.

Guess what guys?

The new layout/design and colour scheme are real.

Bill Gates did a demo of it today at the Windows Live Technology Preview.

Yes, the apparent "leaked" version however, was just a skin with some changes.

Guess what landed on my test PC today

1. "New style" sign in window - minimalist
2. CNI error prompt if your passport is not authenticated to be on the beta program
3. Video Carousel and expanding contacts options
4. Timestamps option
5. Alerts options - Video Carousel and Shared Folders
6. Shared Folders options
7. Windows Live OneCare advertising? Option to disable unsafe file type restriction
8. Messenger 7.5 standard sign in window, complete with Display Picture
9. Shared folders - create/open
10. New WMP11 style drop down menu if the top bar is hidden
11. New Messenger Beta logo

Edit: Someone asked me what Video Carousel was:

Windows Live Messenger keeps you updated on the latest videos from MSNBC. Opportunities to watch new videos are available from the main Messenger window. While you currently cannot control which videos appear, you can control other options of this feature.

sooooooooo ugly plus i have it and access is hard but there is a way which i shall not mention. Please do not ask. I really hate the new design of this and it seems to be the only change as only 3 new features are reconised.

Maybe the new server it's connecting too means fixing of .pif and other server troubles
