Hi Jason,

Unfortunately, the only way to get Windows Messenger 5, is to be invited (i
think they closed the GuestID). As for MSN Messenger 6, you do realised that
it hasn't been public beta yet, it's still private? If you want to talk
about betas, please use the Microsoft Betanews NNTP servers please. This is
a public NNTP server.

Where to get a betaID & passowrd??

[Edward Chow]

As i said, you need to get your own betaID and password- they can only be
associated to one Passport. I think they closed the WINMSGR5 guest id, so
the survey would be down- uh, jonathan, is the GuestID disabled?
Well, Microsoft invites people to beta test... that is, if i am correct, the
only way to download Windows Messenger 5 _legally_ is by invitation...
However, there are many places that host them, i'm not naming any links...
but look around on the IRC channels, you'll find it eventually.

Hi Edward,

Yes, the Windows Messenger 5 beta is no longer accepting new people.
