microsoft say this is to be released as a "patch"... instead of an entire installation package 8mb download of messenger7...

We’re glad to have been able to fix a few bugs. We couldn’t fix them all, of course. Thanks to all who have given it a try. I am hereby giving those of you (20-30) who have gotten the e-mail from me permission to forward it to other beta testers (under NDA) so they can try it out. Let’s broaden the net and see just how solid this patch is.
In particular, MSN Messenger has never done this patching technology before. If people feel adventurous and want to…
1. Run the patch again (to make sure it doesn’t do anything)
2. Uninstall and go back to 777 (to make sure nothing gets weird), and then install the patch again
3. Try to run the patch when you don’t even have 777.
That would be great “devious tester” things to try.
That was from the MSN Messenger BETA newsgroups:
