About Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta

Question

I've heard about new live messenger version 9.0 beta but there is no information about this version so I need to learn something about it and I've heard that it is downloadable with invite so who can invite o others invites send according to what?

Answer 1

Windows Live Messenger 9.0 is not yet available. The Beta hasn't even begun yet, so now you can't get it via download.

Sorry

Answer 2

 

Hello from the Windows Live Messenger Team!

We've been hard at work building the foundation for Windows Live Messenger 9.0, we'd like to give you a look at what we've built and ask what you think. We're running a small private beta to get early feedback on the new features we've built and get wider test coverage of the build.

As a beta tester you'll have access to an early 9.0 build, a private newsgroup just for Windows Live Messenger beta testers, and the ability to send bugs directly to the product team. The build you'll be beta testing with is a very early build, so it may be less stable than beta builds you've tried in the past. We're telling you this upfront so you know what you're getting into. If you're not sure about trying a not-quite polished build, maybe this beta isn't for you. If you're ready to dig in and explore this build with us, follow the below instructions to nominate yourself.

1. Go to http://connect.microsoft.com
2. Click "Invitation" in the left nav pane
3. Enter this invitation ID: ~wahahaha~
4. Click Go
5. Fill out the nomination survey

We'll review all survey responses and accept as many people into the beta as we can. Look for mail from us soon!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Yes, the Beta invitations have been sent out late Tuesday night (GMT). At the time I posted my reply, the Beta hadn't begun yet. This has of course changed, and the Beta of version 9.0 will begin shortly.

Answer 7

 

I received my invite, but deleted it by accident.  Anyone now how I go about getting the e-mail resent??

Answer 8

where did your invitation mail come from? or you want from which url ?

Answer 9

As far as i'm aware, there is now way to have Microsoft resend the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta invitation e-mail

At the moment there is now way you can manually sign-up for the Beta without having an invitation directly from Microsoft

Answer 10

 

I've tried putting the code and it said its in valid. plzz help me. this is what it said

 

 

 

 

 

The invitation code you entered is invalid, assigned to another person, or else the program is no longer accepting invitations.

Invitation ID If you have been issued an Invitation ID by Microsoft, please enter the ID in the Invitation ID box. Invitation ID:

Answer 11

That's because ~wahahaha~ is not the Invitation ID to get into Windows Live MEssenger 9 Beta

The original poster has edited it to remove the invitation ID given to him in the e-mail.

haha.. i just snipped the ID from original of course, as this is limited private beta.

 

well.. the good thing is, one of my friend and I who uses the same invite ID has been approved!

glad to be using it. the only thing regret is the UI.

Answer 13

so what can i do to have invitation ???!

Answer 14

There's nothing you can do to get an invitation. At least not now. Only Microsoft could send them to you.

Answer 15

That's pretty ignorant of the monopoly.  Get some info on this and it's limited?  That's the reason why people run to Apple.  Comeon guys, don't make me regret ever spending money on the products.

Answer 16

You need to remember though that this is an early Beta. It's far from the products final launch (which is currently scheduled for about this time next year). I'm almost certain Apple don't make early Beta's of their products available to everybody.

The beta will most probably open up more as time goes on, so you may be able to get the Beta at a later date. For now though you'l have to stick to 8.5

Answer 17

Hi, i was invited into the beta and downloaded and installed. Problem signing in, aparently being blocked by firewall but this certainly isn't the case.

Answer 18

Hi, how can I download this beta?

It is limited so testing on the software will be in better form. Can you imagine if you setup a new server that has a new function, but a unlimited Beta, then it will have too much people sign in then interrupts the whole process?

 

WLM is FREE OF CHARGE. Please remember.

You may try install this on another clean PC. It might be your connection too! My sign-in in multiple places are fine.
