MSN Messenger 7 Beta
 
Linky
MS has launched a public Beta version of the new messenger software if anyone fancies a play.
It is only a BETA release so the usual "User Beware" advice applies ;)
Quote:
What's new in the MSN Messenger Beta?

* Winks: Express yourself with impact. Send animations with sound to really get some attention.
* Drag and Drop Backgrounds: See an image you like? Drag it to your MSN Messenger window to set it as your background.
* Set Status Before Logon: See who's online before others know you've logged in by setting your status! Subsequent logons can start you up in stealth mode.
* Send Feedback: Tell us what you think. Send the MSN Messenger team feedback right from the MSN Messenger Help menu.

Yep hence my

advice, as with all BETA releases anyone installing the software must take the necessary precautions when using it and should accept responsibility if it proves to be problematic as no-one forces them to use it ;)

Dunno but that would be a very worn button by now if it existed :p:
Will see how many people suffer problems with MSN7 Beta before I get home, if the number of complaints aren't too bad I might install it later tonight ;)

I just love the feature where you can send hand-written messages - I've worn the whole progamme to death and I can't find any bugs :)

My missus doesn't get the tabs with the Handwrite and Type on her MSN conversations but I do. What could she be missing ? I have looked all over the options and help files but nothing useful.

Have you made extra sure msn has signed out, perhaps rebooting and checking windows messenger and other internet communication applications aint running.

Perhaps MSN is trying to do something and with a file in use it cannot replace it hence the hang while installing.

Good point. It looked like it has stopped MSN. Apparently it hadnt. When i stopped it manually and then installed MSN Messenger 7 it worked fine.

Have a greenie!
