We think you are really going to enjoy test driving the new features. And we can't wait to hear what you think of it. We need your help to build it right.

To sign up for the beta, please give us your e-mail address so we can send you an invitation when it becomes available.  We'll also use it to keep you in the loop about the latest developments. We'll use your e-mail address for this beta release and relevant updates only, and the first notice you receive about this will include the option to discontinue further messages regarding the Windows Live™ Messenger Beta if you choose.

EDIT: Ah, new source . Guess MSN UK just didn't update their site yet then.

Yea, sorry I put the wrong source. Source updated..

I've also tested it with one of my other e-mail addresses. It signed in without the invite

i knew this awhile ago.. i tried sending my invites out to people that wouoldnt care on my list but said the page that invites were on couldnt be sent . so im assuming WLM8 will go Public soon if this is the case

Finally. Anyway hardly anyone cares .... everyone had it anyway

these rumors are flying about for wlm is relased to public so
i have created and account about 2 secs ago and im goin to try and sign in without any invites and I GOT IN so you do not need an invite now to b able to get into wlm but i think this is a process to get more people to try wlm and it will b within a couple of weeks now dat it will be took of beta testing

Sounds good, but like JA told: everyone already had it.
I don't think I'll use it untill we found a way to skin it. Unskinned messengers are just ugly!

Nope, I created a .net passort to test (not because I am sad guys, i had to check before writing)

They obviously feel the need to test new servers.
