Hi All


Why isnt there a udate for msn messenger 8.0 (windows live beta)
its out now...as i have but i want Messenger Plus for it..but i need the update.. so please can you update Messenger Plus for msn messenger 8.0 


From Kieran J (KEZZA)

Messenger Plus! Live is still in the early beta stages and hasn't even been released to testers yet. So Messenger Plus! Live will (hopefully) be released when Windows Live Messenger Final is released, as WLM is currently in the beta stages, and still very buggy.

Messenger Plus! Live will be released when WLM is no longer in beta.

As you said yourself, the BETA for Windows Live Messenger is out. Traxor said there will be a Messenger Plus! Live released when Windows Live Messenger is no longer in beta but a final. That might take some months.

yes but why would they still release if it is still a beta
and a full version to.....?

One could say that it's a cheap way to test a product.

WLM is a product that will be used by tens of millions of people.
Finding bugs in a small group (i.e. Messenger developer team in Microsoft) would be an enermous task.

So, they decided to release a beta version to see people's reactions about the beta, get feedback and bugs submitted by WLM beta users.
In fact, some people are obsessive with beta (read: buggy) products.

i have tested it like..personally i fink its SH** without Messenger Plus!
i dont see why microsoft would realease instead of realesing when its complete...the bastar**- there just tryna bug our pcs!

What they have released to the public is essentially a "Public Beta" - all members of the public can access it, however it is still in the beta stages. When you go to the main download sites for Messenger (http://messenger.msn.com) you'll find that MSN Messenger 7.5 is still the primary download as it is the latest official release.

Patchou will update to support WLM8 once it is finally released and that is also providing Messenger Plus! Live is finished. Due to the nature of this new version it may not be released immeadiately after it WLM is released officially (but this depends however on how soon Microsoft release it).

ok, i uderstand but i dont understand microsoft askin the public for the views on "WLM" Wht do u think they have fuc**** TESTERS!
