when is official release date of MSN messenger 6.0?

should i dl the preview now? are there any known problems? should i wait?
anyone know the release date? thanks for any info!

Greetings,

I'd say give the preview a try (even just to try out), you can always uninstall it, or use
System Restore.

As for any 'specific' issue, there are some issues on Windows ME and 98/2000 in general (like
digital cameras being used a webcams instead of the actual webcam). None of these problems
exist while running on Windows XP.

Hi,

Also, the "official" release should be in 2-3 weeks.

Hey, don't know the official release date, but I've
downloaded the Beta MSN Messenger 6 on about 7 machines
and haven't seen any problems from it. It's fun! Way
better than Windows Messenger!

Well i am using MSN messenger 6 on My WindowsXP Pro OS, my OS is NTFS
formatted.

It Runs perfectly ok, until i try to go for a webcam session with my
brother or a friend, MSn messenger 6 grinds to a hault(freezes), and then i
click the 'x' button in the corner ot close it, MSN messenger is forced to
close down itself, what could be causing this problem?

my brother uses Windows XP Pro on a FAT32 system, but he recently upgraded
to MSN messenger 6, same as me, and he is getting crashing problems too.

plus i think for this reason he stops me from viewing my webcam to him.

my webcam is l'espion Digital Dream camera, £29.99 it was, dunno if it is
Wndows XP compatible. Runs perfectly well in Yahoo messenger.
