conzer16 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLMsgr85_en-us Just installing now. Seems pretty much the same apart froma slight graphical change.
Shorty Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ewww, those glass effects along the top are awful! I'm so sick of the overuse of that style, and the Windows artists don't even do it very well! I'll stick with what I have unless they force a change x_x
Ant-Shimmin Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I was hoping MS would of included an Xbox Live Intergration for us UK guys, like they have done in the US... But I forgot MS refuses to acknowledge the existence of anyone outside of the USA... Anyway it sure does look swift
Shorty Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I love Windows Live Messenger once you remove the tabs, stop "today" popping up and use mess patch to remove all the advert banners, links, search button, spaces integration, paid packages crap etc etc. Yeah it's a bit of hassle but it looks so clean
CompSci Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 also the filtering feature is neat, now only people who are online only show!! a late but welcomed feature
Slaggis Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 downloaded 8.5 it looks better thna it does in those pics. Its pretty good.
AshMat Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Just d/led, quite liking this actually. It does look better than on those screenies.
Slaggis Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 dont know if this does it any justic, but it does look way better than previous versions
The Peeps Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Anyone know why my msn takes 10 minutes to sign in? I don't get any error messages and everything works fine, it just takes so long to sign in and I don't know why! I thought if I installed this it might go back to normal but it still takes ages. Curious thing is, it only takes a few seconds to sign into my other account [edit] after a few seconds using this, I instantly hate it... but that's been the same with most of the upgrades. I'm sure I'll get it once there are patches to get rid of all the crap.

Slaggis Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 all that stuff on the left side can be turned off..go to the options..it looks way better then.
Shino Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Windows Live Messenger on XP looked like Vista and a lot better visually, but on Vista feels like an early build of its graphical design. I guess they just wanted everything to match.
AshMat Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Ok, word of warning, do not get this shit. Since i d/led it, my pc crashed completely, i couldn't do a thing. But as soon as i managed to get to control pnael straight away, and got rid of this, my pc instantly has become fine again. I say stick with the old one to be safe for now.
Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 This is buggy as fuck, admittedly. Webcam just, refuses to work anymore and it often crashes for what seems to be no reason.
AshMat Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 The webcam worked fine for me, i was sending it and recieving it for about an hour. But it did basically refuse to sign in at one point. And fucked up my pc. I really don't understand how they change it graphically and tweak it a little bit, and suddenly this shite doesn't work.
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 This is buggy as fuck, admittedly. Webcam just, refuses to work anymore and it often crashes for what seems to be no reason. Seconded, very buggy
Letty Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I havent encountered any bugs but the webcam one yet. However, it is one of the ugliest thing Ive ever seen. I hope they get rid of the strange boxes around peoples display pictures when they sign in..
conzer16 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 Very very buggy. Unistalled it almost immediately. Will wait for the official release. I like the bxes and I like the glass box at the top
Jimbob Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Looks nice enough, not sure if i'd upgrade to it just yet though. Might wait a few more patches before downloading it.
Slaggis Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 odd, i have experienced no crashes so far same, none at all
