Er.... i thought beta testers agreed to some ToS/NDA/agreement about information? when i was in the live beta, i am sure i agreed to some terms that i never read....

I don't know if that is a joke or what, but the whole "this is exactly why..." thats a very global reason. I've made a mistake - is that why you don't like me?

I downloaded it, installed it and tried it out. I dislike the feel of it. The contact list could have been designed so much better with little extra effort IMO. The chat window was nicely done though and can't wait to see what designs they come up with in future builds.

For all you chumps out there that are going to have a sad at me, yes I have uninstalled it, no I didn't send it to anyone, no I didn't put it on my blog or website and no I did not set up a small kiosk down at the local markets selling the lastest and greatest leaked software for $1.99. Also Cookie while you are telling all the members how aweful they are for linking to sites that have these screenshots, you may want to have a go at Rebel Sean as well for mentioning that JCXP site. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have went there and even bothered installing the application. He is a "Butterfly" after all and should be more discreet on the subject.

Very true indeed, and I missed that... Then again, there sure are many others who do/did such stuff, as such, my opinion and points I was trying to make go for them too of course, no exception.

It's ok. I completely understand your point of view, no one is perfect :P

Cookie Its just a program (not even made by you or a company that you work for)

Relax...Everything on the internet nowadays gets leaked so don't lose sleep over it.


That being said, I believe Microsoft has blocked signing in to the new build for non official beta testers.

That's what I had thought to till I installed it. It would be a smart idea though.

Sure, and that justifies everything now does it? Everything gets hacked these days, so lets just hack all of your accounts.

Read the small print, plus know the fact that genuine testers are punished because of all this since MS will trust them less and less and wants to minimize the risk more and more, and thus wont let genuine testers have so much access to stuff or inside information anymore.

Which in the end results in having less time to find and report bugs in the wild, which on its turn means a less 'stable' client for _you_ to use!!! In essence you're not only punishing all of the butterflies, mvp's and other genuine testers, but you're also punishing yourself by seriously tampering with the proper and normal development of the program if you leak stuff or link to leaked stuff. Good job by being so shortsighted in that case...

If nobody would leak stuff, then there would be a whole lot more private betas you could get in to as there would be far more chances any person would be accepted in to a private beta (eg: you, or anyone else who wants to get in to a private beta but isn't accepted now for whatever reason).

I got a question if there is so much argument going over using a leaked beta then why is this thread even still open?

This is going to go for ages about people trying to justify why they can use a leaked beta.
