      Wow. Chris sent me an invite and I installed it. When I ran it (actually it auto ran), it comes up in Orange and Green! Stop stealing our CP colors, MSN team! :-D

            Yep, like Gmail. There's a Beta Invitation menu, but when I tried that it said I don't have any invitations left. Maybe, I need to use it for a day or two to get invitational powers.

                  Cant remember where you get it, but there is a program that when you run at the same time as live messenger, it lets you login, as normal passports are banned from the new one.

                      Probably because you got an invite, so your password was allowed access. I have download the beta before and tried it without the program and it told me I was not allowed access.

                        Ah ok, in fact before I downloaded the setup, I had to login to Passport.

                            What do you make of it? There was something about it not working when I briefly tried it. Design struck me as a bit odd, didnt like it at first - had to make it blue instead of orange. Didnt use it long because I didnt trust the program i had to run along with it.

                              It's kinda okay. The icons are a little weird and it is harder to get at some items - an extra menu/toolbar indirection level. The notification icon in the tray looks odd though.

                                    I promptly uninstalled my copy. It thought the advertising in IM7 was pretty annoying, but in 8? Yikes! No thanks - there's plenty of other IM clients out there. cheers, Chris Maunder
