How do you know it doesn't exist? I here from some very high up people that development has done began, and I'm not lieing about that either.
an how do you know there not just fooling around with you Sean,
Because there not like that 
. It's been known for quit some time now that MSNM v8.0 development has began 
.
I hear such "reports" constantly on various forums, that "some high-up people say this and that".
Mostly (99,9999999999% of all cases) those high-up people are just common people hearing stuff from other just the same or inventing stuff or even don't speak perfect english and thus writing wrong or suggestive stuff... and then the ball gets rolling and before you know it, we have an "official" report because those people have a high-standing/good friends/whatnot towards those who read the posts. This does not mean those reports are accurate at all. It means someone (which doesn't need to be "high-up" at all) just started to spread a rumour....
eg: some newbie might read this thread and sees your post. He could think, oh RebelSean said that and he has x posts, so he knows what he is talking about, and before you know it we have a report in the morning editions of the Times saying: "Officially announced features of Messenger 8"...
Unless there are OFFICIAL reports, such stuff is a rumour and nothing more than a rumour and nobody should post stuff like "I heared it from high-up people" because that's BS....
-----------------------------------------------------
And in this case, if you track down the source from all this, you'll see that is was stil_tippin on mess.be who posted this as first, telling:
quote:
I told my friends uncle to email me the features of the New MSN, he finally emailed me after 8 hours. Well He asked his friend from the Messenger Department to tell him the features, well here they are:
[SNIPPED]
*The list above is ideas from past beta users and ideas are not finalized
1) again, a typical "a friend told a friend" situation.
2) Who says stil_tippin speaks the thruth about this? (no offence towards him, this is just making a point in general)
3) Who says this MSN Messenger department guy didn't lie or didn't provide some random stuff just to keep them quite.
4) the last note says clearly it is NOT a feature list at all, but just some random ideas (as we all keep saying constantly)
5) He clearly asks in this thread if this list is to be taken seriously or if this uncle from his friend is BS'ing.
Then we go to the next link in the chain (MessengerMad):
quote:
Recently alot of talk has been going around the internet about a possible MSN Messenger 8.0 feature list. We here at Messengermad.com have been told that MSN Messenger 8.0 is already in development, and a BETA product may be released by the end of this year or early next year. Messer still_tippin posted on the Mess.be Forums a possible feature list of MSN Messenger v8.0.
So now they are throwing in other so called facts... And of course no mention of the "The list above are just ideas" note...
Next source (RebelSean):
quote:
These have not yet been confirmed by any Microsoft Employee, but sources tell me that indeed this could be what is going to be packaged into MSN Messenger 8.0.
So now it is as good as official, it only needs a small confirmation from MSN???????
I bet you can already find some post on some forum by now saying "These are the official features to be added in MSN Messenger 8 scheduled to be released as final in december".....
I rest my case...
