I don’t know if you guys have heard about it, but the new version of MSN Messenger will be known as Windows Live Messenger 8. So there’ll be no more MSN Messenger 8 of course. Numerous MSN products would be rebranded as ‘Live’ products in future. And Windows Live Messenger is one of the first few to be released.
_(Screen of Windows Live Messenger 8’s main screen.)_�
Microsoft needs people to test out Windows Live Messenger 8. So if you are interested, I can invite up to 8 people to test out this Windows Live Messenger 8 beta. Note that this is just a beta product so if anything doesn’t work right, don’t scream.
_(Screenshot of Windows Live Messenger 8 chat screen.)_
I attached some screens to show you how Windows Live Messenger 8 (WLM8) looks like. As you� can� see, WLM8 has undergone a facelift. I don’t� know if you guys would like the new look better. I think it looks neater by a little?� If you are interested in testing, you can either leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks.

I using it too! It look quite okay for me. =)
by cockroach//è??è?? (Jan 14, 2006 at 10 PM)cockroach//è??è??: I see, you’re a tester too. So far, I don’t see much problem, but I think the whole mouseover-and-you-see-nickname-details can bit quite an annoyance as it’s “jumping”.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 15, 2006 at 12 AM)Hey,im interested in testing, my MSN is mic@fuckit.com. thanks
by mike (Jan 15, 2006 at 7 AM)hey i’m interested. send me an invite?
by rax (Jan 15, 2006 at 11 AM)It kind of looks cute, bubbly kind of cute, you know? But the huge advertisement is like an eyesore haha. Oh, I notice MSN Messenger 7.5 has an ad too, but somehow it’s not so prominent. LOL.
I guess I will wait for the official one to come out. I’ve no patience for betas. xD
by Milky (Jan 15, 2006 at 5 PM)Milky: Indeed. Yes, it does look kinda cute now. I think it would appeal the younger crowd. The advertisements have always been this big I think.
rax: What’s your MSN account mail address? If you wish to conceal it, you can post a comment with your MSN address. I’ll send you an invite as soon as I see this comment.
mike: Your Windows Live Messenger invitation is coming your way.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 15, 2006 at 9 PM)ah, tryed installing msn 8. Got a message error 1601. Then i tried uninstalling msn 7.5 and that didn’t work.
WHY! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME!!!
by mike (Jan 16, 2006 at 12 AM)yeah to prevent spam, better not to reveal it explicitly
by rax (Jan 16, 2006 at 12 AM)ok, i managed to install msn8. But it said “invalid login”
by mike (Jan 16, 2006 at 1 AM)I got it working.
by mike (Jan 16, 2006 at 5 AM)Thanks Mr. Dew
An invite would be cool! As well as this blog!
by Mikey (Jan 17, 2006 at 5 AM)man, this is so cool!
by june (Jan 19, 2006 at 6 PM)If anybody else wants an invitation, I got one, but I don’t use/hate MSN, so I would forward it to the person that would love to have an invitation, email me:
nafcom@c64.org
by Nafcom (Jan 20, 2006 at 4 AM)mike: Sorry, I don’t know what happened too. Perhaps you can report to Microsoft’s Live Messenger people. Invalid login? Have you tried to use an email account other than the one I invite you to login? I’m glad it finally worked though.
rax and Mikey: The invite is coming your way! Thanks for the wait, I stayed in camp for the week and was unable to invite. You should receive the following email.
june: It is cool, would you like an invite too?
Nafcom: I’m not sure if you can actually forward an invitation actually.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 20, 2006 at 5 PM)@Mr Dew: I got a link by email, clicking on that it asks for my MSN passport login, so I don’t see why it should not work
by Nafcom (Jan 21, 2006 at 8 AM)do u have any spare invites?
by Espen Kvale (Jan 22, 2006 at 7 AM)cheers
Nafcom: Maybe it would, I’m not very sure about it.
Espen Kvale: What’s your email address? You posted a comment with a Gmail address. I’m not sure if that is your future Windows Live Messenger log in. You can post a comment with your Messenger sign in email.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 22, 2006 at 7 AM)@Mr Dew: Tell me to whom to send it and we will see. thanks in avdance
by Nafcom (Jan 22, 2006 at 10 AM)Nafcom: I’d tell you who to send if there is someone who wants a WLM8 invite.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 22, 2006 at 11 PM)Mr Dew:
OK! Thanks in advance!
by Nafcom (Jan 23, 2006 at 6 PM)can i please have an invite i really do need one

liam
by liam (Jan 27, 2006 at 11 PM)@liam, sure! Do you want me to send it to the email form you linked to?
by Nafcom (Jan 28, 2006 at 8 PM)@liam: Ah, I found your email address browsing that forum also on that server, I will forward the invitation now to you!
by Nafcom (Jan 29, 2006 at 12 AM)Nafcom: Thanks for forwarding. Liam should have gotten it I would presume. Enjoy your invite.
by Mr. Dew (Jan 30, 2006 at 8 PM)@Mr. Dew: Of course it arrived, since I received no mail deamon error message after sending it out!
by Nafcom (Jan 31, 2006 at 4 AM)Nafcom: That’s good.
