Lo peeps,
I appear to have a few spare invites to the Beta prog for MSN messenger ver 8.
If anyone is interested just let me know & one's yours.

PS. Please refrain from "Micro$oft are the spawn of the devil...etc.." posts and other flames. I'm not forcing anyone to use it, just offering sommat for free to anyone interested who uses MSN already

Am I allowed to pour informed scorn on it based on my beta testing friend's critique and the various screenshots I've been sent?
Microsoft don't make crap software by default, their users demand it (don't you hate UI requirements defined by a 12 year old?). People should be told what they need and half of MSN's "features" are not needs by any stretch. Leave the constant expansion to Emacs
But on behalf of those who want to see it for themselves, thanks for th offer

A rather cool experiment in sentient programming.
Now if only it could edit text like nano

At least the new 'Add Nickname' feature is useful.
It allows you to rename your contacts in your view to whatever YOU want, so that you know who is online despite however many times they change their name to something ridiculous (or is it just me that has strange people in my contacts ?)
In it's defence, I've been using it for a while now with no probs ....erm....once you sort out it's default options properly to your own liking anyway.
