It looks like Neowin has confirmed that the Public Preview of MSN 6 is going to be this Thursday June 19th!!!
Quote:quote:As seen on http://www.Neowin.net and http://www.mess.beSources close to Neowin have confirmed an earlier rumour that the public preview of MSN Messenger 6 beta is due this thursday.
Over the past month we’ve been going a little Messenger 6 mad, originally we first posted exclusive screenshots of the upcoming client, launched our very own MSN Messenger 6 tab and since then various versions of MSN Messenger 6 have found their way onto the internet.
This thursday everyone will have the chance to officially download and use MSN Messenger 6. Although we’re unsure of what the build number will be or whether games will be turned on for all countries outside of the USA, we’ve been informed that we will see a public preview on thursday.
Thought you all might like to know.
June 16, 2003 at 10:22 pm #61321Jeff HesterKeymasterThanks, Shifter. I’ve added a new article reflecting the news.
June 17, 2003 at 10:02 pm #61323dwergsMemberPlease note that Neowin’s Creamhackered got this news from us.
The link to Mess.be in his news post got kinda lost in all copy-pastements.
June 17, 2003 at 10:38 pm #61329shifterMemberAh yes you were linked as the “rumour”. Sorry about that i didn’t notice the link or I would’ve put it in with the post.
June 18, 2003 at 10:24 am #61320Jeff HesterKeymasterThis isn’t the “official” download link that Microsoft mentioned in their press release, but it looks like a sneak peek at what we’ll see when it does go live (later today?):
June 18, 2003 at 3:30 pm #61332saritaMemberwell, i’m not too great with the time zones… but the way i figure it it’s 11:25am right now pacific time, and the MSN Messenger 6 beta still is not available on microsoft’s site. looks like Neowin was right that it’s thursday, and Microsoft’s people are just dirty liars in their press release… or i could just not know how to figure out time zones.

well, i’m not too great with the time zones… but the way i figure it it’s 11:25am right now pacific timeIf you’re located in eastern time zone, then it’d be 10:55AM ET and 7:55AM PT in California/Oregon/Washington.
You can check on the time zone: http://www.Time.Gov . 🙂
June 18, 2003 at 4:22 pm #61319Jeff HesterKeymasterYeah, I live and work in PDT, and it’s only 8:19 a.m. now. Give it a few hours. 😉
June 18, 2003 at 5:03 pm #61330lukezwebMemberThe site you linked to Jeff doesn’t even go anywhere for me just to MSN5.0!

Right… if you read carefully, it states that it won’t go “live” until 11:00am PDT (about one hour from now).
June 18, 2003 at 6:27 pm #61326BrianMemberJust wondering here…
If we have the leaked copy of BETA MSN Messenger, and if we want to download the preview ones, are we to uninstall the leaked copy?
June 18, 2003 at 7:51 pm #61322Jeff HesterKeymasterYou don’t need to uninstall the leaked one, but you do need to shut it down (right-click the icon in the system tray, etc.).
And it’s here!
Go get it now!!!! And for more display pictures, chat backgrounds and custom emoticons, check out http://groups.msn.com/messengerv6beta
