As mentioned earlier. I got’s Beta invitation and I am part of it :-D. I cannot post it’s Snaps rite now because I am not sure if that will come in Microsoft’s policy or not. I certainly don’t want to loose my Beta Tester status. I waited for it for a very long time. Oh, and I got 2 invitations the other day. Microsoft gave away 2 invitations for Live Messenger to all Beta testers who are part of Live Messenger. I gave them both to my friends & there’s another great news for ME. I am also selected in upcoming version of Microsoft Office Professional!!! I have seen its snaps and read its reviews, it’s reallie cool but there’s one problem. My Internet is only a dial-up, worst of a Dial-up actually and the file size to be downloaded is 400 MB! :-/ I applied for a Physical shipment though, they will send me a few CDs/DVDs with all that in it but it said it will reach me in maximum of 6 weeks. So I have to wait for a long long time!!!!!!
