Dear Alberto,

We need your expertise!

We have a new beta version of Messenger that we would like you to be among the very first to try out. You have proven yourself to be a real expert when it comes to betas, and we need your opinion on what we can do to make this new version of Messenger even better.

This new version is called Windows LiveTM Messenger. It's as fun and reliable as the Messenger you already know, and you lets you keep the contact list and other personal stuff you've got stored in Messenger. Plus, this new version has a fresh new look and feel, and lets you do things you've never done with Messenger before, like:

Make domestic and international PC-to-telephone calls at incredibly low rates (you'll need to sign up with a Microsoft Partner, but you can do this in seconds, right in the Messenger interface.)
Drop documents into special folders that you and your contact can access even when one of you is off-line
To get started:

Click the button below to go to http://connect.microsoft.com and sign in with your Passport credentials (your Hotmail or MSN e-mail address and password).
Click on the Invitations link in the left hand navigation.
Enter the following ID ---------------  into the box and click Go.
Read the information and any instructions found on the welcome page

you sign into connect.microsoft.com  then under invitations you enter that ID number and wait for them to give you the download and allow your email to sign into that verison of messenger...

yes i got the email too

.. lucky you...
what happened after the welcome page?...
did it say u can start beta testing?

no, it said the survey was submitted and Windows Live Messenger  beta 8 was added to "My Participation" section. i went to the download part in it but nathing new.

... i only have the "MSN Customer Experience Validation - Canada " program in the list... guess i'll still hafta wait till they assign what they want me to test?....

there no download yet, and even if you do download it somewhere else, the y havent put the email on the list to allow them to connect using the new version yet
