CompSci Posted June 19, 2006 Author Posted June 19, 2006 give us a rundown of whats new. i will install this once msg plus live comes out. which will be in a few weeks. Features of Windows Live Messenger include the following: • Video Call - The free, synchronized audio and video service in Windows Live Messenger • Windows Live Call with Verizon Web Calling service. • Cordless phones designed exclusively for Windows Live Messenger - Uniden America Corp. and Philips recently introduced phones that make the Windows Live Call feature for Windows Live Messenger available in North America and Europe. • Microsoft LifeCams optimized for Windows Live Messenger - Microsoft Hardware and the Windows Live services group announced last week a line of webcams that are designed for use with Windows Live Messenger. • Sharing Folders - Now sharing is as easy as dragging and dropping a file. Customers can more easily share their files and personal photos with family, friends and colleagues on their Windows Live Messenger Contact List. • Windows Live Contacts - Contact information is always current with Windows Live Contacts in Windows Live Messenger. • Integration with Windows Live services - Windows Live Messenger integrates with other Windows Live services such as Windows Live Search, Windows Live Local, Windows Live Mail and MSN Spaces.
AshMat Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Ive had the BETA since it was first leaked unnofficialy, then kept upgrading to the latest one. I usually check http://www.mess.be to see if anything's out But i forgot, thanks for the heads up
arab_freak Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 The only thing I hate about it is that they replaced the display pictures in the main window with those little glass "characters".
Fuzpoy Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 The only thing I hate about it is that they replaced the display pictures in the main window with those little glass "characters". I just put it on, i feel the same. ---------- I don't get this bit, in the Conv window you can high light their personal message and email addy. i can only guess this is too cpy thier addy.
Dieter Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Yes the disappearance of the dp's in the main window is a bit annoying, but I just installed it and found a few neat features. - You can give your contact a nickname instead of being forced to look at his/her superlong emo lyrics nickname. Yes, he/she's one of your best friends 4eva, even if they're faggy. [stolen from: Trillian] - Timestamps [stolen from: AIM, IRC, pretty much every other IM] - You can shut off the option to see 'says' after each message in a row [stolen from: trillian afaik] - offline messages can be recorded (at least, it said it could) [ stolen from: AIM, ICQ i think] -Shared folders could be interesting for school projects and the like, when that dumb fuck just won't come online. [stolen from: the internet (webspace)] Sadly, the dumb ads are still there, that take away from what is otherwise a fairly nice interface, clean and all. Oh well. Also: WLM takes up 40 MB RAM when opened, 3 when minimised to system tray. Note: the 'stolen froms' are in my experience or from what I've seen, I'm sure there were IM's with certain features earlier
AshMat Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I was very glad in one of the earlier BETAs when they removed the thing that mkaes your contacts go big when you scroll voer them, that was annoying..
CVD Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 There's really nothing new in here from the BETA version they released the other month.
dabookerman Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Live Plus comes out on saturday, thats when i install this
Shino Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Live Plus comes out on saturday, thats when i install this Thanks, so will I.
Cube Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Is ther ANY difference from the beta (as it hasn't even asked me to update it)? Anyway, I wouldn't use MSN is if wasn't for a-patch. (and if trillian didnt have problems with file transfers on my comp). No ads, no winks, a load of other annoying stuff removed.
Jimbob Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I might download Live messenger, if i get round to it. ATM, i'm happy with MSN 7.5, it's good enough for now.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I got it as I just installed a new Hard Drive [YAY!]... It's not bad. Nothing to brag about.
Ramar Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I got it, but I want to handwrite and it won't let me. And to piss me off the help doesn't help, typical Microsoft.
Ramar Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Right, I'll download that off the microsoft website then.
Twozzok Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I've got this, but now i have to wait 'til saturday to get my tabbed windows back >_< Other than that, it's a nice interface, though will take a bit to get used to.
Cubechris Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 You can get the Display Pictures to show if you click the (two arrows) on the top right, and select 'Show Details' it still sucks though, as they are HUGE.
KKOB Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 messenger live plus sucks too microsoft fucked up with live messenger-msn 7.5 plus with a few plug ins is infinatly better.
AshMat Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Plus isnt out yet, a few fake ones were floating around, those were viruses..
That Guy Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for that. Didn't realise the final version was out. Does anyone have any idea when IE7 or WMP11 are going to be released properly?
Cube Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for that. Didn't realise the final version was out. Does anyone have any idea when IE7 or WMP11 are going to be released properly? I think IE7 Beta 3 is out sometime aroung august.
AshMat Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 WMP11 is out fully isnt it? Im using IE7 BETA for stuff Opera doesnt run, it's a bit suck..
