it's not officially out of Beta testing yet, and so many people have so many different versions - i didn't even know they were working on it as i've only just been given it by a mate.

they've not officially released it yet, this is still a preview not a retail version. (but atleast it ain't a beta, i can never connect with them)

waws looking around and should be officially released late next week... with 6.0.6 (above is 6.0.5)

I pride myself that i don't kill... well not without a good reason

you know image bgds have been around for ages.

In linux you can have animated fish swimming across the desktop while you work, not tht I can understand why, but its available.

run everybuddy on mandrake if you want access to all the im channels.

Y aim msn etc..


I hope 3dtop becomes apart of some Os soon.
Im tired of a 2d OS workspace.

yeah i've seen them... but i've yet to see one impressed with.
remember alot of what i do is 3D & 2D editing plus 3D Programming and it takes alot of power when your running things in debug etc...

if i was just doing simple little things like most guys here, then probably be a case of having a less inanimate background to just stare at like the new Windows Series 9 Background - but as it stands they take alot of power that really could be put to better uses.
i run Windows Media Player Series9 all the time with SRS & Dobly 8.1 on which takes alot of power too.

stuff like that just seem a waste to me, especially at resolutions that i run. Best improvement i think that was made was see through text for desktops, anything else and it just doesn't bother me really

lol... well i've kinda lost my MSDN Beta Section password (again)
i swear i've gotta start making postits with them whenever i set one up so i don't forget them, automatic password saving has spoilt me.

so i kinda missed out, i knew it was being developed - just no way to get it.

same here , around 1-2 weeks. I've been using the webcam function, pretty fast in comparison from Yahoo Messenger. But then again, i can't get the Voice to work yet.. oh well, just need to wait for now & be happy with wat i got so far..



(if there are anyone who got the Voice thing to work, i appreciate it if ya'all tell me how)

Oh I dont know - its usually quite good - although see below :

I was originally going to help Beta test DirectX9, but I didn't fill in the rest of the forms etc as I didn't particularlly want it screwing up my machine. I did try the beta of Office XP (managed to 'con' it out of them) - that was quite stable.

That thing certainly looks better in green, although it looks like it'll throw up at any moment.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...
