• Video Call - The free, synchronized audio and video service in Windows Live Messenger

 

• Windows Live Call with Verizon Web Calling service.

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

[Jon]

I'll stick with Adium thanks.

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]

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]

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]

There's really nothing new in here from the BETA version they released the other month.

[dabookerman]

Live Plus comes out on saturday, thats when i install this

[Shino]

Live Plus comes out on saturday, thats when i install this

 

Thanks, so will I.

[Cube]

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]

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]

I got it as I just installed a new Hard Drive [YAY!]... It's not bad. Nothing to brag about.

[Ramar]

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.

[Shino]

You need Windows Journal Viewer.

[Ramar]

Right, I'll download that off the microsoft website then.

[Twozzok]

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]

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]

messenger live plus sucks too microsoft fucked up with live messenger-msn 7.5 plus with a few plug ins is infinatly better.

[AshMat]

Plus isnt out yet, a few fake ones were floating around, those were viruses..

[That Guy]

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?
