RE: MSN Messenger 8 Screenshot - Real or Fake?
I really love how everyone on here is outrightly declaring this as fake when they really don't have a clue as to the validity of the screenshots.

It would be so much better if people who actually knew the answer replied, rather than everyone on the forum who THINK they know if the screenshots are fake or not.

My comment merely shows that I don't like the new skin or the concept. I'm not saying which.

But really, you guys are just fueling the fire by confusing the issue with your claims that YOU know what is fake and what isn't.

Not even the testers know of MSN Messenger 8.0, so no one can really say anything.

Not just screenhots they gave an msi which was only 5.0 MB and made this skin. I got rid of it straight away :)

That MSI is infact an installer for version 7.0

Actually that installer is for MSN Messenger 7.5 (Build 0306) and for me, at least, it was 9.2MB.

Again, none of this matters. Just because they don't want to distribute the version they have, doesn't mean a thing. The screenshots are being backed up by a number of people who are respected in the MSN Messenger community, just for your information.

Oh and, just because the testers (you?) haven't gotten the build, does not mean it cannot leak. Nor that it does not exist.

The testers don't get all the builds, quite obviously, it's not really that big a deal to be a tester - unless you like testing and reporting bugs. Not necessarily seeing the newest technology/newest build. (ie. there are times where we get builds that we need to test with nothing changed)

I'm not going to say these are real or fake either. However, in my opinion, if MSNM 8.0 looked like this, I would sure as hell want skins for it. Quite a few people confirm this to be real, and quite a few don't. It's just a matter of time weither or not we are going to find out if it is :).

We'll see mid-November if this screenshot is real or fake :).

If you notice they always say "Messenger" instead of "MSN Messenger". They have always said "MSN Messenger" to distinguish between the windows messenger.

Not only that, but they changed the systray icon. That icon is a trademark, and I dont think they would change it.

Seems fake in my opinion.

Well people could be going on forever stating their opinions of whether 'its real' or whether 'its fake', but the plain fact is that people will not know the truth until it's released.

Just wait, be patient, and then we'll see.
