Yep it got leaked, yep it's mustard, I like it now it's on some of the better known
download sites, want a try?
Nudge: Nudge allows you to send a "shake" to your contact. Both your own and your contacts MSN Messenger window will shake, much like how Internet Explorer windows shake using the correct javascript.
Download packs: Download packs will allow users to grab winks/emoticons/display pictures and backgrounds straight from MSN. As these currently don't work we were unable to test them.
Games: Chess Club, Bankshot Billiards Club are included if you're a Instant Games Clubhouse member. Standard Checkers/Solitaire Showdown/Bejeweled/Minesweeper Flags and Tic Tac Toe are still included.
Activities: Activities allow you to share files, calendars, photos and perform tasks such as remote assistance.
Deluxe Display Pictures: Although these are unavailable it seems like MSN are going to supply animated display pictures.
Enabling the personal message to tell contacts what you are listening to currently (tick the option) will change your personal message to reflect the current mp3 you are listening to. Interestingly, when tested with a music video file in the current playlist the personal message is blanked out while the video file is being played. MP3 files listed in the playlist following the video file will continue to update the personal message.
You now have the option in your conversation windows to click on a link to bluemountain to search for new backgrounds and emoticons. This seems to be something of a coup on bluemountain's part as it is sure to generate a lot of additional traffic to their site. Additionally, there is an option in the conversation windows to type in an item to search for. Clicking on search heads to msn's search portal and returns the results to the person you are conversing with.
What's New in This Release:
· Winks from 7.0.632 can only be sent to another build 7.0.632. The leaked build (7.0.604) and the public beta (7.0.425) cannot receive winks from the latest BETA (this will be fixed in the refresh). Issues may be experienced with Winks if the installed version of Macromedia Flash is not up to date.
· New MSN Mobile features such as sending a text message to a contact from your mobile phone or Offline Messaging will not be immediately available.
· The MSN Messenger BETA build will not be added to major firewall provider safelists and may cause firewall software to display a security error.
· Full-screen Video Conversations may crash on Windows 98.
· Installation of the BETA version on Windows Media Center Edition is not supported.
· It is recommended that Windows 98 and Windows ME users upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.0 before running the new BETA.
· Some international character sets or “Double Byte Character Sets” may overlap or cause the font and/or font size to change.
· The “Customer Experience Improvement Program” menu item under Help may be inactive. To get around this, please click on Tools > Options > General.
· When signing in as anything but “Online”, the ad in the main window is not clickable.
