RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by aNILEator on 11-02-2005 at 09:26 AM

awaiting till leak is confirmed (as opposed to dodgy 7.0 skinned version) :P


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by -rafy- on 11-02-2005 at 09:29 AM

I thought you couldnt sign into MSN 8 unless your passport was on the beta tester list?

RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by Hank on 11-02-2005 at 09:40 AM

mess.be aint always right 100% oif the time


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by pikablu0530 on 11-02-2005 at 09:53 AM

i just read your Space, i believe you. there are more screenshots on his Space and it DOES show that it is a real Messenger 8.0.

Only thing, in these screenshots above how did u sign in? how come on your space you claim couldn't sign in anymore (which should be the case because it is an internal build)?

it is named "Messenger 8.0 BETA" in these screenshots, different from what Bill Gates showed, is because the build Bill showed is mainly to advertise the "Windows Live" lines. This is a genuine internal leaked build.


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by -rafy- on 11-02-2005 at 09:57 AM

If it is indeed real, how exactly was it leaked?

Surely an MS employee wouldnt risk their job doing so?


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by Mentality on 11-02-2005 at 09:59 AM

alot of people are gonna move from messenger if thats the new look. it's ugly.


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by Discrate on 11-02-2005 at 10:06 AM

iv got some infomation from my friend who is a beta member he has told me a few things (im not going to leak them) but all those screenshots are fake everyone of them there is no way anyone could have msn 8.0 yet becuase even the beta testers haveny even got the beta yet


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by pikablu0530 on 11-02-2005 at 10:19 AM

Believe it or not, I am downloading it officially from the MSN website:

Link Removed

This link is found on an official microsoft employee's blog btw. AND those screenshots sunny posted ARE from this microsoft employee's blog, they're not actually him. (he cannot sign in himself)

PM me if you don't believe me.

PS. although i downloaded it, i cannot sign in.


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by Discrate on 11-02-2005 at 10:21 AM

yer u can not sigh in becuase its not active yet


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by pikablu0530 on 11-02-2005 at 10:24 AM

yep i totally agree with you with the cannot sign-in part because it is only available for beta (or internal) testers.

However, not being able to sign in doesn't mean the screenshots are fake.

Guess what guys?

The new layout/design and colour scheme are real.

Bill Gates did a demo of it today at the Windows Live Technology Preview.

See photos on flickr here:

Yes, the apparent "leaked" version however, was just a skin with some changes.
RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by Hank on 11-02-2005 at 11:12 AM

thanks Chris,,still looks Ugly,

Screenshots shown here as well.

quote:
Guess what landed on my test PC today ;)

1. "New style" sign in window - minimalist
2. CNI error prompt if your passport is not authenticated to be on the beta program
3. Video Carousel and expanding contacts options
4. Timestamps option :)
5. Alerts options - Video Carousel and Shared Folders
6. Shared Folders options
7. Windows Live OneCare advertising? Option to disable unsafe file type restriction
8. Messenger 7.5 standard sign in window, complete with Display Picture
9. Shared folders - create/open
10. New WMP11 style drop down menu if the top bar is hidden
11. New Messenger Beta logo

Edit: Someone asked me what Video Carousel was:

Windows Live Messenger keeps you updated on the latest videos from MSNBC. Opportunities to watch new videos are available from the main Messenger window. While you currently cannot control which videos appear, you can control other options of this feature.



RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by absorbation on 11-02-2005 at 04:29 PM

sooooooooo ugly plus i have it and access is hard but there is a way which i shall not mention. Please do not ask. I really hate the new design of this and it seems to be the only change as only 3 new features are reconised.

Maybe the new server it's connecting too means fixing of .pif and other server troubles :)


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by matty on 11-02-2005 at 04:34 PM

Look reports are saying that it is going to be called Windows Live Messenger not MSN Messenger anymore.

This screenshot says "The future of MSN Messenger".

Lets wait till the beta testers have their copy before disgussing this any further.

This is a skin of MSN Messenger 7 ment to look like Windows Live Messenger. Look at the top how it says Windows Live Messenger not just strictly Messenger like it does in the screenshots above.

Don't you think it is possible that the version used in Bill's demo yesterday cold be a later build than what has been leaked?

I am saying this because, why would a fake version be unabled to sign-in to the Messenger servers other than if it was really an Internal Beta release?

EDIT: Corrected spelling mistake

Well if you think about it, that makes sense.... Windows Live Messenger is the Future... well of MSN... so obviously clicking that will bring up some page with information about the change etc
RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by RebelSean on 11-02-2005 at 10:43 PM

Yes guys, the screenshots that were leaked a few days/a week ago were indeed real (At least, the ones I looked at). This is INDEED MSN Messenger 8.0 BETA/Windows Live Messenger. It's not fake, and it is out to beta testers already. Released earlier this morning.


RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b by lizard.boy on 11-03-2005 at 02:51 AM

hehehe. patchou's probably gonna have a fun time with the new build, and compatability.

Not it is not out to Beta Testers yet. Only Microsoft employees and a select few MVPs can legaly use it.

The official Beta is yet to begin
