wasn't there supposed to be a new msn that was to have come out yesterday?


RE: wasn't there supposed to be a new msn by M73A on 04-09-2005 at 11:50 PM

the final release of msn 7?

7.0.777?


RE: wasn't there supposed to be a new msn by zeus6996 on 04-09-2005 at 11:55 PM

I don't think that's the Final build
I'm sure it will be a more stable number like 7.1 for the computer Illiterate

Well you can download it from http://messenger.msn.com and they removed the beta section from that page so it is the final release, build numbers dont refect stablity.

I still belive they should make it 7.1 .. don't y'all?

Why should it be a .1 release if its final? Finals are generally .0's, like 7.0.

A number in a version doesnt mean much, honestly...

Whats the big deal with what version number it is? At the end of the day, you're still using the same thing... :undecided:

exactly Third Dimension, but theres a little bit to the numbers ;)

the first number is changed for a major update
then the second section is for minor feature updates
then the third section is usually for bug fixes ;)

Check the help > info about messenger section. If it was a beta version, it would have been mentioned there, with a warning that it can contain bugs, etc....

I personally don't think that the new final release should be 7.1 anyway 'cause I think it's still a bit dodgy. It occasionallt crashes, and for some reason sometimes it has the packs button and the whats hot in the smilies and backgrounds etc. and the option in actions to "get more from messenger" and the search button in the convo and sometimes all of that disappears lol. When this happens you also can't look at spaces from it. Dunno i just find it still to be a bit unstable


RE: wasn't there supposed to be a new msn by saralk on 04-10-2005 at 08:45 AM

how can they go from 6.2 to 7.1 without officially releasing 7.0?


RE: wasn't there supposed to be a new msn by Gin on 04-10-2005 at 08:53 AM

Sorry people but I'm being dim here.

I would like to dl this new version, off of the proper msn site would be best, obviously. I can't see anything about a version 7.0.0777, so I tried just selecting download msn messenger and got 7.0... but since it's no longer labelled beta I guess this is the new version you're all talking about? And that I should just install that?

One of my friends (who was running 7.0) said the upgrade was automatic on his. Is this right? If so, I didn't receive any notice of it (and am running the official beta 7.0, not the old leaked one.)

Never mind now :) have sorted it out.
