He only mentions live so I assume it is the full version like I run. Beta didnt even give me any major issues that I can remember.

Seems fine for me. I get a split second stall once it has logged me in but nothing major.

Where you guys getting full version from then?

Occording to this its still in Beta, no such thing as full version if its still in Beta hence why its called "Beta" i.e testing phase.

You can't get Beta and Full Version out at same time otherwise why have Beta out still!

Do a google search for "MSN Live Messenger 8.0" (the new one) its currently 8.0 beta

Softpedia reviews still say its in beta also.

But like it says on the msn link i provided earlier, the beta logo still appears under the brand name.

I got an email this morning offering it as I have to each of my hotmail accounts. If I click the download button, I can download it straight from the browser. It has this paragraph:

"We are also delighted to say that Windows Live Messenger is the first service to come out of beta stage and is finally ready to go!"

To add confusion to the matter, I received a "Windows Live Messenger Beta" email this morning! Will post a pic later if I can. I think Microsoft might be confusing the user
