Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta
Hey, been a long msn user. just installed the beta few weeks ago. just wondering if any notice a real good advantage on it versus the 8.5 and 7.1? only thing need is the .Gif in the display pics[finally].
Sad thing i wanted custom emotions in screen names. Also a new feature is the "personal sounds".
Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta is closed off to the public though.

Windows Live Messenger 9 is currently in development. In a Presentation to the Georgia Institute of Technology's IEEE Student Branch, Microsoft employee and Georgia Tech Andrew Jenks announced that it will ship "in late 08 or early 09". Internal builds are already at WLM 9 and includes many of the API components. They have a team working on multi-person audio/video chat for WLM that may or may not be in version 9, but is expected to be in by 10. They are also attempting to work out a way for WLM users to chat with AIM/Jabber/ICQ users like the way Yahoo! Messenger works now, and they have a basic internal version that works with Jabber already.[17] Features published by the news site Liveside include specialized features against messaging spam, the ability to stay signed into the application from several computers (referred to as "Multiple Points of Presence Support"), animated GIF files in the photo area, per-contact customized sounds for various user actions, and clickable URLs in the status area.[18] On November 20, 2007, an invitation to participate in the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta was sent out to beta testers on Microsoft Connect. Later on November 27, 2007, Microsoft began sending out emails to beta testers, welcoming them to the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta program. The current beta version of WLM 9, in contrast with current stable versions of Windows Live Messenger, does not include the device manager, resulting in WLM-compatible devices not functioning.[citation needed] |
it is nice but a little bit of problem when i tried it. perhaps i will wait till the final release of this software before i upgrade my current version of it.
8.5? I've been using 8.1 and I thought I had the latest stable (by microsoft standards) version.
Oh well getting latest now...

I'm using WLM 8.5 at the moment, but I wonder what Microsoft will have in the 9th version of it.
Actually, I don't recall any really major changes from version 7 to the 8th, except some minor ones such as buddy profiles. I hope the 9th will blow me away, although you can't expect too much out of Microsoft.

you'll barely see ne change asides from .gifs in ur d/p
im sure a 9th version will be made. im sure there will be one day with considerable changes. im predicting one major one aswell.
Should microsoft buy yahoo, which im sure they will as yahoo is going nowhere at the moment. They will incorporate yahoo messenger and live messenger together. Giving microsoft an even bigger hold on this market.

they kinda already have combined the two services. You can talk to people on Yahoo messenger from MSN though I'm not sure if it works the other way round. It doesn't look like MS will buy them now though - seeing as Yahoo doesn't want their money
