well I beta tested it once when it was a private beta and my sister or brother couldn't log in using it only I could and even when I found a leaked version they still couldn't log in

I've been beta testing for a long time...being more specific, Msg 7.5, Lie Msg 8.0(very good version...),8.1,8.5...but now i can't find the page for asking for an invitation(and yes, I've used the private beta in all those cases...)

The log-in restriction was removed in this version because it didn't work very well (people found ways around it very quickly).

Just because you've tested previous versions does not guarantee an invitation to the next ones. There is no page asking for an invitation, they send you the invitation by email before the beta begins.

In fact, you can go to connect.microsoft.com, register, and ask for a beta, and I didnt say that i use 9.0 becuase i used the others, i said that i registered for the others, but this time i didnt find the page!
previously, you could go to live.ideas.com(doesn't exist anymore) and ask for your invite, but now you've gotta go to connect.microsoft.com, ask for an invite, and wait more than a month! While my invite doesn't arrive...im already testing it...in fact...im waiting for the invite since november 22...(remembering that other things such Windows Installer 4.5 I just had to wait 1 day...)

but...could we, pls!, stop arguing about allowed or not beta testing? The question was "When will messenger 9.0 be avaiable", and the answear is Beta is available, but Final isnt ready yet

No, the beta isn't available to the public

...go to "connect.microsoft.com", register, ask for a copy of Windows live betas, wait a bit, get your WLM 9.0, and still receive Live Writer, Live mail, Live everything when their betas come out...at least this is the right way to do it...

WLM9 beta on connect is limited to a maximum amount of people, the reason you didn't get in even after waiting so long is because this maximum is already reached. A beta only officially available to a selected/limited group of people is called a private beta, WLM9 is one of those.

WLM 9 is not included with "Windows Live Betas". You can't register for the WLM 9 beta from connect, you must have been invited by Microsoft before the beta began.
