The beta of Windows Live Messenger 8.1, which was first released to a select group of testers in August, has just been made available to anyone who wants it. This release is build 106.
Nicole at the Windows Live Messenger blog gives a great overview of what’s new in this version, some of the main changes are:
- Roaming identities allow you to keep the same PSM and display picture regardless of where you sign in.
- Contact cards have been revamped with a new look.
- Emoticons, winks, backgrounds DP menus also have a new look.
The Windows Live Ideas page also lists better server performance, automatic updates and improved sign-in performance. Although just about each version has claimed better sign-in performance, each version seems to create more sign-in problems for users. It might be worth a shot if you have been having trouble signing in, download it and see how it goes.
pues me parese un msn muy chido me encanta y ojala y lo disfruten no tiene todas las cosas que kisiera yo pero claro cada vez mejora mas ja!
i love it
I would still very much like to figure out how to create and send my own winks. I am a flash designer / developer and I REALLY want to send my own custom winks in the latest Windows Live Messenger.
Is there any way?
