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
