even though it was limited to a few beta testers and got leaked...the major flaws such as the winks and so on..weren't really recongonised until people who go the leak got back to microsoft and reported it...perhaps not just the winks several other bugs also...i'm sure microsoft's developers would be closely watching great sites such as mess.be and looking at the bug list... and at the same time... i'm sure only the more computer wise people would have been the ones who managed to get hold of msn 7 making it a good test ground for msn without damaging it's image... becoz we would know itz a beta leak and that we can't really blame them for the bugs... and hey therez a new beta now with the winks deactivated and all....after all the feedbacks.... what do you guys think about this ? isn't it really more of a benefit for them then a loss ?



thats just your ussumption and its kinda bias. SInce you dont realy know if the official beta testers wern't the ones who solved the problem. YOur just assuming becuz they spoted the mistake when msn got leaked.  If Msn Messenger 7 didn't get Leaked, you wouldnt hear of the news that microsoft fixed the problem and updated, which will take out the assumption that the microsoft actualy got sumthing out of messenger 7 bieng leaked. Who knows they probly solved it them selfs or would of even if Mess.BE never existed. And it isnt a loss becuz they loose nothing. It just created more work for microsoft which is nothing too much to handle for microsoft to handle. They should just Leave the Winks to Three Degrees instead of making the winks Internal.
