kewl 133 of you get to try it while the rest of us have to wait another month to try it (if we are lucky). Not what I would call fair
An open beta would mean more people trying it out and maybe finding more bugs that wouldn't be found. But I would have liked for them to at least have made 4.9 to be able to work with all of the features of the new msn instead of only working with part of it. Then they could have just rehauled it and not too many would have been upset.
