Become a Windows Live Messenger 8 Beta Tester!

Now here’s something interesting that you might like to take a look at.

It’s a fully functional sign up page for the Windows Live Messenger 8 Beta, though not guaranteed to get you into the Windows Live Messenger 8 Beta it’s still in my opinion better than the Windows Live Messenger 8 Beta Patch that I have now seen which will let you use Msn Protocol 12 to sign in.

I say this because this way you get to participate in the beta along side the develeopers and other beta testers inside the newsgroups, which a downloaded patch wont let you do.

And before you start asking no I will not post a link too the patch because I don’t agree in patching a program to get it earlier, it also ruins it for legit Beta Testers.

To arrive at the sign-in page you basically get this url:
http://www.ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=0eccd94b-eb48-497c-8e60-c6313f7ebb73

And replace “programpage.aspx?” with “signup.aspx?”:
http://ideas.live.com/signup.aspx?versionId=0eccd94b-eb48-497c-8e60-c6313f7ebb73

And whola you have a sign up page, but don’t get your hopes up too soon as you might not be included in the beta test!

Interesting. You might want to use more punctuation in your writing; having it without breaks makes it difficult to read.

Thanks Darren! Another chance for me to get into this beta test. 😀

Thanks Elliot I’ll be sure to update this post to include more punctuation so it’s easier to read and I will also remember to use more punctuation in future posts to come.

Also no problem Henrik, I hope we both get in! 😀
