Just a heads up that Windows Live Messenger (MSN) has been publicly released.

Just installed it so no comments yet, but you can get it at http://messenger.msn.com


That is all.

Holy crap.

Is there any screen real-estate left over from all of the emoticons and ads, so that you can actually type text in?

There is if you get A-Patch :D

nice.

just installed. dont do it people, its ghey.

Okay, since The Cock didnt reaaaly have that much detail in his post here is the basic rundown.

Network transport and voice services are apparently the biggest improvments. The contact list has gone back a little more old school, which is nice to see. There is a lot of crap in it, but if you use the A-Patch, you can make a really nice fast chat client :)

If you have any questions as me.

This freezes when i run it.

If you have any questions as me.

I'd like to ass you a question </ace ventura>

I've been using msn8 beta for a while now and I must say I like the folder sync thing. When I had trouble sending a file to someone through normal file send, oddly enough I could send at full speed through the folder sync thinger, but not everyone on my list has msn8 :(

that link in ur comment seems to be dead Eds. What exactly does this lil thing do to msn8? or just blanket removes all the crap.

edit: nvm its working now. mad lil patch
