well, Microsoft decided to do this cause the beta version isnt secure. there are some MAYOR security risks with it

Though, if u really want to keep it, use this patch :):

There is a thread about it here: Important Announcement Please Downgrade Msn Messenger 7 to 6.2

Why is this thread in bug reports, surely it has nothing to do with Msgplus, hasn't anyone noticed this yet?

Oh man! Just when i was getting used to the 'sign in as' thing they find majour security risks! When are they going to re-release it does anyone know? Anywaz it was a TINY bit unstable and buggy so it's probably betta this way.

i really like messenger 7.0 its really cool looking i hope they do fix the problems and rerelease it it would be a shame if there was no further versions of messenger just cause this one didnt work out as planed. its getting rediculous i mean microsoft launches a new version of the msn premium browser every year but cant release an updated version of internet explorer when they finally release a new piece of software msn 7.0 its so buggy they have to discontinue its beta and ie7 aint due to release until longhorn in 2006 why the hell do microsoft keep us waiting for good software.

they didn't discontinued anything! They are still working on MSN Messenger 7. They did this because they know of the security leak and they know that everybody was using the beta while people really shouldn't use it! They did this for you're own protection!!!!!

ive heard that they r downgrading everyone who uses MSN messenger 7 because we're not supposed to have it: its not a public beta.
