Hey today I was looking at some screenshots of Windows longhorn and I came across this!!

That's the new Windows Messenger which will be included with Windows Longhorn (before people start talking MSN 6.2 rumors again ).

But it looks nice, i think i shoul try Longhorn too somtime.

Uhm, could it be this screenshot is totally fake? I just search to see how old the 4183 build showed in the screenshot really is and it came up with this (including way more sites reporting fake screenshots): http://users.pandora.be/aldatillian/VARIOUS/LH_Fake_Builds.htm#LH_4183

This is a kind of (Windows??) Messenger you get with MSN Ecplorer... I have no idea why, but i never got such a thing myself, my brother did... Just on Windows XP or 98, dont remember what he had excactly, was very long ago... All i remember is that it was totally unsopported by Plus! and had no cool features, just a much better interface

Maybe this is a kinda thing you get when you use MSN Explorer and have no MSN Messenger installed or shit, I dont know

Yeah, it's the Messenger that you get in MSN Explorer. It's only the old version though. You can't use it now, either, as you get told you HAVE to update before u can use MSN Explorer again. Dayum.

Hm, there will be some interesting features in Longhorn . The picture viewer looks nice, the transparacy of windows explorer and the GUI are nice too.

What transparency?

Anyway... It looks... fake.
You have seen there are more things in the windows (Invite, Send files, Webcam, Launch, block, format, etc.). They can't have taken it off from one day to another. And the design looks also very simple for me. Look at the scroll.
And as Shady sais, it's probably some MSN-Explorer-crap. Look at the icon. In the tray there is MSNExplorer and WinMessenger.
So... not interesting at all, imo.

Looks fake to me, but I do like it. If it exsisted and had stuff like webcam and such like onto it, and I'd get it, much nicer then MSN 6.1 on windows 98 if you ask me
