An update to our story from yesterday on MSN adding four paid online games to its stable of subscription-based offerings: Looks like a last-minute glitch has resulted in Microsoft postponing the availability of its MSN Messenger 6.2 update. "The (new) games have already begun to roll out today on the 6.1 client, and many consumers will already have access tonight (Thursday evening)," an MSN spokeswoman said. "However, the 6.2 client is currently on hold." The new target for 6.2 is Monday

This is only postponed until Monday, which means that no new features will be added, only a small bugfix.

It is still up at MS. Just wanted to let you know. I tried it in FlashGet 1.4.1, and it is a live link.

Link works fine for me as is in Opera. No flashget or anything else needed. Of course, I don't want anything to do with any messenger. Especially MSN'S or AOHELL's!! Was just browsing to see what the latest f'up from MS was. lick.gif
