Hello from the Windows Live Messenger Team!

We've been hard at work building the foundation for Windows Live Messenger 9.0, we'd like to give you a look at what we've built and ask what you think. We're running a small private beta to get early feedback on the new features we've built and get wider test coverage of the build.

As a beta tester you'll have access to an early 9.0 build, a private newsgroup just for Windows Live Messenger beta testers, and the ability to send bugs directly to the product team. The build you'll be beta testing with is a very early build, so it may be less stable than beta builds you've tried in the past. We're telling you this upfront so you know what you're getting into. If you're not sure about trying a not-quite polished build, maybe this beta isn't for you. If you're ready to dig in and explore this build with us, follow the below instructions to nominate yourself.

1. Go to http://connect.microsoft.com
2. Click "Invitation" in the left nav pane
3. Enter this invitation ID: xxx
4. Click Go
5. Fill out the nomination survey

We'll review all survey responses and accept as many people into the beta as we can. Look for mail from us soon!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Weeeeee WLM 9.0 beta. I needa be accepted first.. but I will be, here's hoping.

I can't believe they're bringing this out so quickly after 8.5 was released though.

RE: Windows Live 9.0 BETA by Luigi on 11-20-2007 at 11:16 PM

Wow, great news! 9.0 beta already!
I would sign up for the beta... I remember that two or maybe three years ago someone posted an invitation code valid for everyone here in the forums. I hope Microsoft will do something similar for this new version. (a)

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Chrono on 11-20-2007 at 11:24 PM

INVITATIONEZ?!

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Rolando on 11-20-2007 at 11:29 PM

Invite me please =[

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by MeEtc on 11-20-2007 at 11:30 PM

Already?! i suggest they fix 8.x before anything is done on 9

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by duck! on 11-20-2007 at 11:31 PM

cool, did the survey, waiting now..

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Quantum on 11-20-2007 at 11:33 PM

There no invitations. You have to apply to Microsoft

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by aNILEator on 11-20-2007 at 11:37 PM

Tried posting on Msgstuff, as soon as I got my email invite. But abs has fucked up da base! currently it R belong to all him, We have no bomb

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by albert on 11-20-2007 at 11:39 PM

argh. =(

The Messenger team is rushing way too fast to get versions out. Fix the already found bugs, make the current features better, and then think of adding new functions. =(

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Rolando on 11-20-2007 at 11:41 PM

"xxx" doesn't work as an invite =P

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Menthix on 11-20-2007 at 11:41 PM

Used an invite for MS butterflies .

You have to be mailed by MS or be an butterfly and check the newsgroups. Apparently it's limited to a very small group of testers (by MS standards).

* Menthix prepares for Patchou to explode if skinning is a 9.0 feature.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Quantum on 11-20-2007 at 11:47 PM

TIP: Dont say you have a blog. Microsoft ask this to see if you would leak out info

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by aNILEator on 11-20-2007 at 11:51 PM

I think patchou may need 24hr surveillance if it is, he may suffer depression regret and have suicidal tendencies :-( (but hey we all know messenger would never allow us to skin away their ads and all the other advanced options available to use with plus engine)

(So don't lie and spread rumours you damn conspiracist

as if Microsoft actually stop leaks anyway 8-)

I love me

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by markee on 11-20-2007 at 11:56 PM

If WLM has skinning then I could imagine their "skinning" would be to have a custom background with the contact list and changeing text. Maybe also being able to change icons if we are lucky. We all know messenger's features are like this

I doubt there will be sknning if they have the API they are putting in.

.

It just doesn't have the effect they're going for

too bad I didn't get an invite either.. But as always, there's someone who will leak the new versions 8-)

As for WLM 9 bringing skinning to the table.. lol... yeah right . If they do, I'll kill myself.

Oh god I hope not

, Worst case scenario is they finally implement an Aero enabled WLM which will make skinning in Vista horrible

And if MS does indeed implement skinning I bet anyone a happy meal that its going to be like winks and dynamic dps where only people who pay the license for the signature can make them 8-)

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Eddie on 11-21-2007 at 06:55 AM

i vaguely recall seeing a blog post about features of version 9 (i think it was 9) and it said, some messenger plus features as new features *-)

Those are still listed because those were wave 1 and 2, this is the start of wave 3

. There's going to be a shit load of invitations sent out over the next month or so, they only wanted ~1000 to start off

So I'm sure someone will do it

Well, there is this rule on the private groups that tells us not to speak in public about confidential info, but that's not a real NDA. Some butterflies (and i guess all MVPs) signed a real NDA contract, not sure if it also has financial sanctions when they do disclose info, but a real NDA can do that.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Sunshine on 11-21-2007 at 12:02 PM

...i still have 8.5 too as i need it for obvious reasons....

And bah at Patchou beeing forgotten...anyways action has already been taken, so surely you'll be in soon...

work but shouldn't have changed how things look
- Changes to sign-in, connectivity, presence, sending text IM's,
voice & video features

keep your contacts' information up-to-date and helps Messenger sign you in
faster

And a lot more to come.

You cannot sign-up for this stage of the Beta. You can only get in by receiving an invitation from Microsoft.

You cannot be invited by other Beta testers, or register your interest anywhere.

This is however a early Beta, and it is expected that the Beta will expand as development progresses.

Yeh, almost sixth months was a very long time for a Beta of 8.5, which didn't have much new apart from a refresh UI. Unless the only reason it to so long to release was to wait for the rest of the Wave 2 applications to be ready (because of the new Suite)

I'm not sure if it's still listed on Connect but you could try:

Go to: http://connect.microsoft.com (You can also jump straight to Skip 3, and click on the link provided.)
On the left click on "Available Connections" (You may first need to sign-in to your Windows Live ID account. You can also jump straight to Skip 3, and click on the link provided.)
Under the "Available Programs" section (You may first need to sign-in to your Windows Live ID account.)look for "Windows Live Recruitment Program" (or something similar)
Click on "Apply" to Apply
[/list]

Again, i'm not sure if "Windows Live Recruitment Program" is still listed, it may not be.
If it is and you do apply (ie. register your interest in forthcoming Windows Live Beta programs), you may not get invitations to future Messenger Beta's (like 9.x, 10.0 etc.). It all depends on how the team decide to run the Beta. For example, for this (early) round of the Messenger 9.0 Beta, invitations have only been sent to people who've been part of previous Windows Live Messenger (or possibly other Windows Live product) Beta's, not those who are in the Windows Live Recruitment Program, but have not taken part in a Beta.

Hope this helps.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by deAd on 11-21-2007 at 09:13 PM

This beta's not listed in the Available Connections, I don't think -- you need an invite code from Microsoft.

If you don't find anyone to give it to then I will be happy to use it and I'll give you the first invitation I get my hands on.

Maybe this way I might get into the messenger beta programs in the future....

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by mynetx on 11-23-2007 at 06:59 PM

You know, Patchou has to get hands on the new version, and before that nobody can tell you if it will work. Btw, the beta hasn't started yet, only the invites have been sent already.

Untrue. Noone has access to the beta yet. Not anyone outside the Microsoft camp.

If you are a butterfly and wondering why you don't have WLM9 yet, just read the butterfly newsgroup... everything you need to know is there.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by deAd on 11-24-2007 at 11:29 PM

All the 8.0 testers got messenger laptop bags. Not just butterflies.

Sunshine, I know you got it a legal way that I have no doubts.
And I myself am a butterfly too; Im not sure if emails can be posted or not so Ill hold off.
If there were a special group that recieved WLM 9 before anyone, Im sure someone would have broken the NDA by now and leaked at least screenshots. Since there are no screenshots, I determine that Sunshine knows someone at MS, was legally invited into internal testing, and has a copy.

Your logic is flawed. Windows Live Butterflies (who report to a Microsoft employee named Eric) have the beta. You may have been an MSN Butterfly, you may have beta tested Windows Live Messenger, but that doesn't make you a Windows Live Butterfly.

The reason that there are no screen shots may be the fact that the current butterflies have respect for their NDA, or it may simply be that there's nothing changed in the GUI worth posting screenshots of.

I have been a MSN butterfly, was promoted to a Window Live Butterfly, so I doubt that have been demoted for several reasons one being I have reported about every little bug in Messenger during the 7 period and so forth.

And everything at one point or another, gets leaked. There are butterflies who respect this, but the mayority dont because they either give the exclusive to a site (Mess.be, Neowin, etc). So (Im not picking you but seeing you are the only one that currently has it) Sunshine have some special internal MS access because Butterflies (unless MS has changed their way of public beta testing) have not recieved a build yet. Not me nor any of people that I know that are butterflies.

If you are a butterfly you can access the private butterfly newsgroup there and all info you'd possibly want to know about the WLM9 beta is there (like we explained a few times by now

I think you misunderstand the fact that because you have been a Windows Live Messenger tester in the past (im guessing 8.0 because fo ur avatar) does not mean you are automatically made a butterfly...if you were a butterfly you would have the beta already or know why you didnt, so either you aren't a butterfly or your just simply trying to start an argument *-)

I still don't understand why, in the previous beta, they got rid of a whole bunch of testers (me being one of them). That makes it so there's not much chance of those people getting invited into this one eventually either.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by TristanTJ on 11-28-2007 at 02:10 AM

I can confirm that msgplus live works with wlm 9.0.
I know it isn't meant to work with it (that's why you have to change 9.0 to 8.5 in a hex editor in msnmgr.exe) but it works fine with it actually.
Every option that i tried works, so not much under the hood changes from wlm 9.0 i think .
A few small bugs and glitches, but super fast fixable for patchou.
Lucky you, Patchou 8-)

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by aNILEator on 11-28-2007 at 02:11 AM

yay, stupidly it autoinstalls over 8.5 without prompt, so uninstalled, installing 8.5 renaming folder then going to install again

Could be. But it also could be a bug.

Remember that 9.0 is just alpha, that's even before beta

And it isn't scheduled to go final before the end of 2008/beginning 2009!!

http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=23...=findpost&p=241866

I wanna heard what Patchou have to say about that... I don't think this is a good way of make MP!L works...

UPDATE: and now is running for the internet a MEDIAFIRE link to a leaked WLM 9... what is happening with microsoft... how they can invite this kind of people???

UPDATE 2: now softpedia.com is spreading another leaked version... JUST INCREDIBLE...

UPDATE 3: with the trick they did... MP!L 4.5 gets loaded too... but scripts becomes crazy and messenger crash a lot... but if disable all scripts all goes OK as I can see... EDIT: formatted display names aren't showed with colors into convos... I know is going to appear many things like that... cause MP!L 4.5 isn't designed for this version of WLM but congrats Patchou the most seems working so... there you can see the amazing of your job...

UPDATE 4: animated DP can only be seen by other WLM 9 users... Signature sound too(for peple that don't know there is new feature where you can select the sound your contacts listen when you sign in and you can mute it or change it in your contact list)...

UPDATE 5: personalized status display name tags don't work... so today I decided to downgrade to WLM 8.5... enough testing of WLM 9 for now...

Some people lie through the questions to get it, and if they leak something, "they will be cool"

Also, there's a chance beta testing will be suspended for 9.0 if leaking continues at the rapid rate it's at now.

EDIT: it's surprising about the lack of respect people have

But, if you doesn't say "accepted", then the shocking news is that you're not "accepted". very few people got it, dont take it personally.

what the hell are you on about warmth?

MP!L 4.5 has been in development for most of 2007, 8.5 only just became public and 9.0 released to beta testers.

coinciding BETA's are a co-incidence really

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA by Phillip on 11-30-2007 at 09:03 AM

You can wait till a public beta is out for Windows Live Messenger (if they decide to make one). I don't know I'm not a beta tester of either but at this time you can not beta test any of them.

Because they only let in trusted testers who will do the job, not leak information, and.. well.. do the job. This is mainly the same with Messenger plus! live and the WLM betas, only M$ always have idiots who leak the product and patchou has a much better understanding of the people who he chooses to become beta testers.

There aren't 5000 people beta testing Plus! either though. If there were, Patchou would also have a hard time 'screening' and knowing each individual guy/girl in person I think.

But yeah, MS can take some other measures to prevent, or at least minimalize leaks....

(doesn't mean people should be leaking because "it will leak anyways". That's just lame and pathetic).

Just the perfect words to describe this kind of people...

I would suggest WLM 9 team to suspend the current beta
and release a polished version of the WLM 9 client after a few days
and make sure that Sign-In restrictions are in place i.e the
messenger client should allow only Beta participants to sign in with
the version 9.0.

They've done a similar thing before, and it got cracked right through anyway.

Yeah, it got through by some downgrader that would sign you in using servers of 7.5 or something like that. But they are not doing a new sign-in server like they did with WLM because it was a great change from 7.5 to 8.0 and there isn't much difference as of right now between 8.5 and 9.0, just the features.

Surely a mega company like Microsoft could find some sort of method to block addresses from signing into certain versions.
