MSN 8.5 link?? by Lady Disturbia on 11-20-2008 at 01:39 AM

I recently downloaded the new MSN 9.0 Beta and don't like it so I've uninstalled and and tried to get MSn 8.5 back (I think it's 8.5), but I can't seem to find it anywhere.. does anyone have a link as to where I can download this?

thanks a lot

interested to find out why you don't like 9.0

Because I can't see custom emotes. I see when other people use custom emotes but when I use them I just see the command in both the typing box and actual convo window. I've checked the options and ticked "make custom emotes visible" or whatever it says so that can't be the problem.

Also, I've noticed that (because my friend also has the new 9.0 beta) when I open up a window with her, the top of my msn (which was a grey colour) changes to the colour/skin which she's chosen to use on her main contact section. It's the same with her as well, she can see the grey colour in her contact window rather than her own colour. I've tried changing the colour back to the one I want but it keeps changing back to her colour.

I hope that makes sense

That isn't a bug.

It's intentional behaviour and part of the point of scenes.....so that each person's window is individual (if they want it to be).

The custom emoticon thing is a bug, but it's already fixed for the next version of WLM 9/14 (whether it be another beta or a final version)

Also, I doubt that the final release of WLM 9/14 will be before the new year
RE: MSN 8.5 link?? by Basilis on 11-20-2008 at 01:51 PM

I have seen somewhere that the release date is on the 10th of February.

Nope, we know nothing more than most others in this topic :).


December 1st is what Microsoft mentioned in a mail as the startdate of Wave 3 rollout, but the rollout is in stages. It has also been said by Microsoft sources that the entire wave 3 rollout wont be complete before the end of the year. Services are probably the first to hit, applications like Messenger could be much later.

February 10 as a releasedate is a rumor based on a post from our very own Mr. Kay.

I guess the truth is probably somewhere between those two dates. Also, they could release the new Messenger build in the next few weeks but not label it the final version yet (another public beta).


EDIT: Sunshine sums it up nicely (accessible for betatesters only)

As far as I know the final is still scheduled for February 2009.
