windows live messenger beta out
Quote:
Windows Live Messenger 8.5 wasn't that big a change compared to version 8.0. But judging from what I've just found, Windows Live Messenger 9.0 clearly will be a far more exciting release. Not long after the first news about the private beta-round for 9.0, Windows Live Butterfly RebelSean has spilled the beans and published (UPDATE: link dead) the complete list of new features present in the latest build:
* Sign-in and messaging in multiple locations - You asked for it, now you have it! You can now sign into Messenger from more than one computer at a time, up to four at once. Simply sign into Messenger from one computer, install Messenger on another computer and sign in using the same account. (Only works if all computers are running Messenger 9.0 Beta. Currently enabled only for users whose Windows Live ID country is US or Canada.)
* Signature sounds – Pick your own personal sound that your contacts will hear when you sign into Messenger (only works if you and your contacts have Messenger 9.0 Beta).
* Per contact sounds - Pick unique sounds for each of your contacts. You will be able to tell from across the room who is sending you a message.
* SPIM Reporting - If users send you unsolicited messages or invitations that you consider sPa/\/\, you can block them and report them as spammers. If you report a user as a spammer, the messenger service will collect this data and put appropriate restrictions on the spammer accounts. All reports of spammers are kept confidential.
* Animated Display Pictures – Show your moves! Messenger now supports animated .gif files as display pictures.
* Link in Personal Status Message – URLs in Personal Status Messages are hot and clickable in the Messenger contact list.
* Behind the Scenes Changes – Architectural changes that modified how things work but shouldn’t have changed how things look
o Changes to sign-in, connectivity, presence, sending text IM’s, voice & video features
o Windows Live Contacts Server – wlcomm.exe runs in the background to keep your contacts’ information up-to-date and helps Messenger sign you in faster
search for it online and you shall find
