tomwarren Veteran Posted May 27, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2007 fake?http://liveandbeyond.com/ Seems like a minor blog and is cleary written by someone who is misinformed and who doesn't have a clue about the MSN waves. 8.5 is very much real and has been planned for a while now, there will be an official beta shortly. Unfortunately this leak was from a private MVP beta.

Unfortunately this leak was from a private MVP beta. Finding trustworthy testers seems to be a recurring problem for microsoft. I think the mvp responsible should loose his privlages tip: execute regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\fsshext.8.5.1235.0517.dll" to remove sharing folders icon from my computer.

I think the mvp responsible should loose his privlages Whilst I agree, MS haven't put the server protection on for this .5 release so it's clearly only going to be UI updates and fit and finish instead of any new features so it doesn't matter to them as much.

andrew_f Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 This is nice, the top bit should be Aero though and they should also work on a nicer black theme to suit Vista better.

Oh sure he will,if he gets caught But as cream said,it seems MS doesen't care,since it's not a mayor update.
