Another beta MSN version you say..? Why, of couse! Basically.. a new GUI and relocation of some things.. other than that.. well, there are supposed to be "new" features.. look on the web for screenies.. but.. it uses a new MSN protocol for that.. but.. I'm sure images will fix that for ya..!

(others coming soon)
NB: I used a hacked version to work on the old MSN 7 protocol, since I haven't been officially accepted by M$.. yet..

And I finally got around to trying that optimized build of Firefox for my PC.. man it's fast..!

i downloaded it earlier but then deleted it. msn 8 runs on protocol 13 and so it wont let you in unless u have been let into the beta.
i have heard that you can screw around with it and change the protocol to 13 which would logon as msn 7 yet give you most of the features of 8 except a few.
only thing im not happy about is that they are saying since its going to be so much more advanced it could cost us money to use msn 8.
**UPDATE
i got a crack that changes the proxy so msn 8 works with ur current username and password without requiring you to be in the beta program.
if anyone is interested let me know ill post it up.

Is MSN8 that much better to go through all of that just to play with it..? LoL...What's the sweetest feature of it..?

To tell you the truth, it's really quite similar to 7.5, unless you're officially invited by M$, in that case, you should be able to use the new features implemented across the entire Microsoft Live product line..

Anyone want an invite once they are activated?
