RE: IS it real? MSN Messenger 8.0b
Look reports are saying that it is going to be called Windows Live Messenger not MSN Messenger anymore.

This screenshot says "The future of MSN Messenger".

Lets wait till the beta testers have their copy before disgussing this any further.

This is a skin of MSN Messenger 7 ment to look like Windows Live Messenger. Look at the top how it says Windows Live Messenger not just strictly Messenger like it does in the screenshots above.

Don't you think it is possible that the version used in Bill's demo yesterday cold be a later build than what has been leaked?

I am saying this because, why would a fake version be unabled to sign-in to the Messenger servers other than if it was really an Internal Beta release?

EDIT: Corrected spelling mistake

Well if you think about it, that makes sense.... Windows Live Messenger is the Future... well of MSN... so obviously clicking that will bring up some page with information about the change etc

Yes guys, the screenshots that were leaked a few days/a week ago were indeed real (At least, the ones I looked at). This is INDEED MSN Messenger 8.0 BETA/Windows Live Messenger. It's not fake, and it is out to beta testers already. Released earlier this morning.
I'm on: Twitter, Facebook, and Neowin

Not it is not out to Beta Testers yet. Only Microsoft employees and a select few MVPs can legaly use it.

The official Beta is yet to begin
