Just opened for the public. Includes, Messenger, Mail, Writer, Movie Maker, Toolbar, Photo Gallery and Family Safety.

Bah. Wrong title, should be Windows Live 3 Beta.

Could anyone post some screenshots of their WLM? Obviously with the nitty gritty edited out.

Here's a few. Let me know if you're looking for something specific.

You can also display contacts without their display picture...

Or even make the display pictures even bigger if you really wanted to.

lol

got adverts?

pidgin > msn

Yeah I'll sign in with Pidgin later and we'll have a game of chess. Oh wait.

 

[mr.sly]

how about TF2? it's 10000x better

If Pidgin has TF2 built in I'm sold.

A-Patch is out now for this. http://apatch.org/

Thanks for that.

I guess MSN > Pidgin now. No ads with games. Win Win!

Can I have beta3 installed with 8.5? Since its only in beta I just want to try it out, not totally erase my current config and have only beta3. If not is there a way to install the other Windows Live betas without "upgrading" messenger.

I think it upgrades everything. I only wanted MSN but it also installed Movie Maker and Photo Gallery. You're best installing it in a virtual environment if you just want to try it out.

I think if you click the link to "learn more" then it goes away. Maybe. I just clicked it, so I will see if it comes back

Yeah it comes back, I've clicked it a million times. Hopefully a newer release of A-Patch will take care of it.

Is there any way to get rid of 'be careful of phishing links' everytime one of my mates posts a url to me?

New updates for for the Windows Live applications. So far I think it's fixed this bug *fingers crossed*.
