Damn that's quality. Thanks for that.

Venomous · 07-04-2005, 06:13 PM

holy shit thast weird to put it at the least, it just feels a lot differnt, totally different feel about it, still is bloody awesome tho. i love the little icon with the pictures in it.

Paris Hilton · 07-04-2005, 06:26 PM

Hate it. Even 6 is bad enough, so they've just put in more "cute" stuff to add to the already hundreds of flaws and security threats.

msn + metallica + alcohol = interesting combo

M14A-Mclaren · 07-04-2005, 07:56 PM

I like that "What im listening to" feature the most

Messenger Plus is a nice add on too

Venomous · 07-04-2005, 08:01 PM

I've been enjoying the BETA for a while now.

What's the diff between them? I just like the giant smileys that take over the screen and the nudge button.

And I just wanted an excuse to use this...

That is a combo that warrants randomly adding and messaging FordForums members! :baby bott

Just the usual little bits and pieces. It displays everyones avatar on the actual contact list, shows others what ur listening to, etc.

More added junk which appeals mostly to 13-year-olds.

*downloading now*

I have been using msn 7 beta since it was leaked last year hopefully the final build will be good

b2tf · 07-04-2005, 08:46 PM

Wow, certainly a bit different! Takes some getting used to.

Paris Hilton · 07-04-2005, 09:34 PM

wow, they actually were able to fit in even more advertising? that's a feat in itself...i wish mess.be would hurry up and release a add remover/polygamy pack for this version

Steffo · 07-04-2005, 10:23 PM

I use Windows Messenger 4.7

It comes with XP and I've never bothered to download. Well, 4.7 doesn't come with XP, 4.5 or something does, then it auto-updates.

07-04-2005, 10:31 PM

yeah had the beta version, but i never noticed any bugs so it was like having the Completed neways

**Peuty** · 07-04-2005, 11:03 PM

hehe nice one steffo. good ol windows messenger lol.

**Captain Stubing** · 07-04-2005, 11:10 PM

It sux! I installed it, then straight away, my sister is on there about marital problems!

The stupid thing about this is that MSN 5+ don't replace this so you end up with both "Windows Messenger" and "MSN Messenger" installed leading to all kinds of wierd b0rkage. It wouldn't have been hard for them to simply have 5 and up replace the 4.x versions already present but I guess that's MS for you...

Bwahahahahaha

Psycho Chicken · 08-04-2005, 07:15 PM

Well that's great, it won't let me open my inbox in Firefox. Back to 6.whatever, I fail to see one feature I need in 7. Infact, I fail to see anything but avatars shown on the main list (not all work anyway), more ads for crap I don't need, stupid recolour of everything and the trademark of a microsoft update; it runs slower.

08-04-2005, 07:18 PM

heh, thanks to Outlook/Outlook Express I almost never use the web interface for Hotmail now.

M14A-Mclaren · 08-04-2005, 08:25 PM

Messenger plus might let you I dont know, I use it to check my pop email, either way MSN will probably force you to use 7 or cannot sign in.

In other news there is already a vulnerability on 7, patch is due on what they call 'Patch Tuesday'

b2tf · 08-04-2005, 08:54 PM

Ahh, so it is possible to have Messenger Open your Hotmail Box in Firefox? I can only ever get it to use IE, and its the only reason i still have it installed.
