Nothing says "Living dangerously" better than downloading and trying leaked Microsoft products, because their final builds are oh-so-stable. ;)
 
Patch

Useful patch:

"This patcher will perform the following issues:
-Added Polygamy (Allow user to use multiple MSN Messenger in one OS)
-Fixed sign in name length problem.
-Removed ADBanner, (BETA) word, Tabs, Search Bar and MSN Today button."
 
Kinda funny to see how the nudge feature has been a standard in Yahoo Messenger for many many years. And when you'd do it you'd get a wink type action as well.



I'm going to stay with MSN6.2 for now. MSN6.2+StuffPlug (MSN Plus!) is :rock

In my experience (granted, I haven't been involved with any ms beta products for several years, so this may have changed), MS' second to last betas are almost always very very stable. They work on a cycle where there are around 4 releases (depending):
- First release (beta 1) adds massive numbers of features. These features are the biggest and most important of the release. As such, they are usually terribly unstable.
- Second release (beta 2) stabilizes those features, and because they're the most important, they get the most stabilization. <-- this is where to use a beta product if you have a choice.
- Third release (beta 3/release candidate) adds more, less important new features. Destabilized again.
- Final release (usually) stabilizes the combination. Usually not quite as well.
 
MSN have not only delayed the release of an external beta but they're planning to remove crucial new features temporarily. According to sources close to MSN, MSN Messenger 7 beta will ship without 'winks' and deluxe display pictures. Currently it's easy for hackers to exploit the code of winks to display any flash movies on a users computer for any amount of time.

MSN took the decision following the public announcements of the exploits. We're unsure whether 'winks' are going to be axed from MSN Messenger 7 or whether MSN are merely revamping them to be included in later betas.

In other news, The Messenger team will be implementing a CVR update that will force all existing MSN Messenger V7.0 users to downgrade to V6.2. This CVR is scheduled to start on 6 Oct 2004. Anyone running MSN Messenger V7.0 build 0205 will need to downgrade. If you do not downgrade, you will be unable to sign into the Messenger service. We're unsure whether this will effect other builds.


I've been forced to download 6.2 again, meh, I quite liked 7.0.

I use it too!

I've been using ICQ for fucking ever, so I keep using it. I've got a handful of ICQ-only buddies.
