Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta released
-
I on MSN 7.0 nia.
-
The new one wouldn't appeal to all.
-
Who managed to get the multiple sign ins to work properly?
Can't seem to get it to work.
On another note, it seems like my options are greyed out.
*goes back and read release notes* -
This is what happens when you don't read release notes.
Sign-in and messaging in multiple locations - You asked for it, now you have it! You can now sign into Messenger from more than one computer at a time, up to four at once. Simply sign into Messenger from one computer, install Messenger on another computer and sign in using the same account. (Only works if all computers are running Messenger 9.0 Beta. Currently enabled only for users whose Windows Live ID country is US or Canada.)

Hehe
But no confirmations if it plans to work worldwide. I will be sure to turn off this feature. -

Somehow dropping back from 7.5 to 7.0 was a pain for me -.-'
But at least it beats Live Messenger at times -
GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR
I wonder if my use of beta is causing trouble.
2 people on my list have been offline for a very LONG time and suddenly they are sending me links.
Those .TK links that presumably checks if a contact has blocked or deleted you.
It looks like they were online after all... or they won't be infected. Good old MS fix and breaks something at the same time. -
Hmm... weird... although it's set not to keep logs... here's what I found...
From one of the victims...[19:11:41.30]
From the MSN logs...
Check http://www.status-checker-msn.tk it's reliable and tells you who deleted you from their MSN<
Looks like there's a lot to find out from MS and the victims... convos shouldn't be going around in plain text as far as I'm aware of. -
I stuck with MSN 7.5, becoz frankly WLM is one of the worst coded messaging platforms. Its disastrous in terms of resource usage. Starting it up is a pain in the ass. I have seen plenty of other messaging platforms which can outperform WLM.
-
WLM 8.0 is the worst beta program I've tested. Buggy, used up too many resources and was pushed out to users before it was properly tested.
WLM 8.5 codes improved by a lot, it no longer uses much resources. However, the installation method changed, and caused way too much trouble. The installer will download the files from MS servers and install it for you. If you have some blocker or other crap, it won't install properly and troubleshooting is a headache.
WLM 9.0 does the same as well... and I think it just introduced one of the worst security concepts. The installation went silently. If not for some registry and file monitors, I couldn't track down what the heck is the installer doing.
This version also phones home regularly... in order to update the contact list in realtime. The change might have been caused by users unable to find their contact list and a few others who wants realtime updates of their contacts.
As a result of this change, signing in takes a bloody long time. I waited for about 10 minutes to sign in. For the other versions, it takes less than 5 minutes to be up even if on dial-up.
There are also some other new features like contact's signature sounds... which can possibly lag the whole thing down and eats up some bandwidth, animated GIFs as display picture, multiple devices sign-ins.
By the way, encryption of contact list is no longer available since the files are moved to the servers. If the server is hacked, good luck. I would suggest everyone on the beta team to back up their contact list in case the server goes down. -
I'm sticking to MSN 8.5 for the time being, until 9.0 gets a little better.
-
It's not better. It's much worse.

No wonder bill gates is no longer the richest man on earth.
