Ive ben using it a few days ,now an it does have some user side improvments nnot just eye candy, but its defiantly becoming more of a file sharing mechanism..

I haven't had any sort of email, and i signed up for this beta a while back, I've been on the windows mail beta for ages now. Ive heard there's not much different in live messenger compared to the current msn 7.5 though?

Those of you getting emails need to be careful, there's a trojan posing as Messenger 8 (live) beta that when installed will send a msg to everyone in your contact list with a link to (you guessed it) the same trojan, if the persons offline I guess it's entirely possible that the instant message will end up in your messenger registered email account's inbox.

This is the mail i got

TheBlueRaja · 06-01-2006, 17:22

Same one i got..

That email looks just like the mail beta one, so probably is genuine. Did you sign up for the actual beta through live ideas or a different way?

Can anyone join the beta thing?

Solventcandy · 06-01-2006, 21:57

Ok what about this.

" Download MSNP13 Downgrader (required for signing-in)"

What is MSNP13?

and

"you won't be able to sign-in unless your passport is on the allow list. Therefore, you'll need to use a proxy which will allow you to sign-in to Messenger 8.0 BETA."

What is that about? Basically I have a legit invite do I need to worry about these 2 things or just patch the same way as 7.x?

TheBlueRaja · 10-01-2006, 10:11

NO dont download from the link that says " Download MSNP13 Downgrader (required for signing-in) " - click the download button only to get the apatch.

I never used it and i can sign in.

As for your other question - your on the allowed list so forget about it.
