As you can see, all their 3 installers are still exactly the same as the "leaked" version. If you want you can also test it yourself, i have the old "leaked" installers still on my mirror (
http://www.xs4all.nl/~mail2jae/msn/ ). Take a look at the filedate there and you see that those are indeed the old ones.
So
indeed, there was nothing changed at all. Like Patchou said it could have just been a server-side change, but why did they uploaded 6.2 to the official messenger.msn.com and the just a few hours later took it away again if it just needed some server changes? Interesting, i already thougth they didn't change anything when i saw it was still the same build and when people reported bugs they had in the "leaked" version too.
Why is something re-released when they already recieved a lot of bug reports in just the few first hours after the "leaked" version became puclic.
Microsoft Watch (

The Dutch site tweakers.net (
http://www.tweakers.net/meuktracker/6004 ) says there was a security problem fixed with animated
smiles. No, i'm
not saying animated DP's.
quote:
Nadat enkele beveiligingslekken met betrekking tot geanimeerde smilies aan het licht kwamen werd de release van deze populaire instant messaging-client namelijk teruggetrokken. Inmiddels lijkt het er op dat de problemen zijn opgelost en kunnen we de software weer met gerust hart downloaden.
Ofcourse the [i]might[/] have fixed that sever-side, but animated smiles have been in 6.1 too and it seems a bit unlikely they changed the animated smiles code so i wonder why they had to take 6.2 offline.
