Windows Live Messenger 8 Updated

May 8, 2006 4:56 PM from

WLM8 just updated itself here on my computer. I like the new look of it. I'm not sure what's new in this update though. When I clicked the "What's new" button I didn't get much info.
I keep getting messages saying I got invites for this beta program so if anyone want to give it a go just let me know.

For good updates (and usually a list of whats new/fixed) I go to www.mess.be

. Its all about MSN, and WLM (MSN 8). The "update" has been out for a little while. Looks great, but no MSN plus yet, so I'm sticking with 7.5

Its open for all now, no invites needed btw. Overall I like it. Heck the tabs actually work for me now and they hadn't worked in ages.
Also AFAIK MSN Plus is being updated to work with WLM8. In fact there was a version out there already, just not working with the most recent update.

The news in it is:

1. When you write messages/answers to the one you are talking to, everything you type is printing in the same message window, until the one you're talking to is writing an answer. Kind of annoying until you get used to it.

2. You can drag a hole folder/document into "share-file" and it will be sent to the one you're talking to in about 10 sec.

Otherwise, there is nothing new, except the design and 2 free-download blinks...

I noticed this as well. But it's only of it's written within the same minute.
