i tried it before, still not used to it, the interface is kinda messy, just the same feeling when migrating from msn 6 to 7

i think 6 to 7 wasn't that bad.. there were still some similarities... but WLM 8 is more Vista looking.. much more different... I changed the color to black.. looks more matching than the orange..

I recommend those non-beta tester not to get their hand dirty with WLM8 first
Wait for the final instead, or at least the PUBLIC beta

wlm8 icon is fatter than msn7.. and cant differentiate on the away, busy, brb, on the phone icon.. all look the same..
the offline msg and chatting while appearing offline is quite interesting.. ppl keep askin me y i appear offline and still chatting with them.. haha..

Hmm, this looks kinda interesting. Can't wait to get my hands on it and give it a try but I'll wait till the final release.

I think a drastic improvement made is the ability to offline message just like what we used to have in ICQ.

to support ALVIN TANG's claims: http://news.com.com/Virus+disguises+itself...10163&subj=news

come to think of it, i don't really remember why most people (like me) swithced to MSN from ICQ back then... when you cant IM people while appearing offline, and receive any offline mesages..

Come to think of it, I don't really remember why too. I guess it was because people and friends were moving to MSN Messenger and not many people were online in ICQ anymore?

Yeah.. the offline msg in ICQ really helpful.. dont the forget the "OK OH!!" which can wakes the whole neighbor.

Good to see that the coming MSN support it.

YM already support that feature long time edi....

now YM have offline voice messeging too..

when msn and yahoo can communicate with each other later.. i'll will uninstall msn for good..

Yahoo mail addresses can be used on MSN messenger as login name. Isn't that strange ?

Non-Notmail/MSN account like Yahoo or Gmail e-mail addresses can be converted to an EASI Passport account to be used in MSN Messenger.

how do I do that?

just register a passport using ur email?

Go to MSN.com and register for a passport there.

windows messenger 8 kinda suck
the colours are interesting..but it eats huge amount of rams.
and kinda sluggish.....it takes quite sometime to load.....but then again its beta....Oh but then again the site said it would perform similarly to the current full version of msn i had.....oh wait then they lied

so did u send feedback about icon status?

anyone who had try tis... is it consume more memory?

how come i canot run my msn live messenger?
