MSN 8.5 just automatically updated to biuld 8.50.0016.0801, with some minor visible changes such as a MSN butterfly on the dashboard on startup as opposed to the MSN logo, address bar animation, along with other visual changes. Also added is a "Check Names" button to the Write Message screen when composing a new e-mail message, which will check the e-mail addresses listed in the To or CC fields for mis-spellings (applies to only those e-mail addresses you have in your address book).

You can download this build by clicking here. People with the first release of MSN 8.5 do not have to manually download this, MSN 8.5 will automatically update.

Enjoy.

Thanks for that info!

Boy, I just am drooling more and more for MSN 8 for everything i hear

Why cost $$

Yes, it al looks nice...
But what's the point when you can't use it

So any news about a POSSIBLE crack ??

there is no download in this topic, it doesn't belong here.

Download link added to post. Sorry about that.

so how can we crack msn ?
if iam breaking any rules tell me

I highly doubt anyone would be able to crack MSN 8 because of the way it recognizes who has MSN 8 and who does not. It is stored in your passport, and your passport information is stored on MSN servers. Sort of impossible if you ask me.

I guess we are allowed to talk about cracks, just not download and post links

that's why you hack other weirdos accounts. Not that I do myself, I just got my friend to add me to his list.

Nevermind

this beta sucks.. stick with 8.0 for the moment and your safe.

and why's that?

Does the new build contain an updated MSN Messenger version?

If so, what's the build number ... I'm currently using 5.0.0544.

this beta does not suck

it is fully functional and they havent released a new build in a while due to the fact that they are considering adding in tabbed browsing for the next build

so stay tuned

This build is awesome! I have no idea what you are talking about, Don't you just love how it says your name when you login.

Why Microsoft make it for test? To try it you gotta pay $
It bullshit

got the actual disk in the mail today from MSFT...

its their internet software

this is a beta version of it

as in it still connects to their servers, still gives you 10MB of email storage for each account you have on it up to 9, still does all the extra stuff and software that comes bundled with it

thats like saying dont make me pay for AOL......they are always in beta

I wish I can use it
