MSN Messenger 7 build 0816

Description
Ready for the new Messenger? Microsoft just released the first beta version of MSN Messenger 7 to its beta testers and ofcourse, we have it ready for download for you!

Some key features of "MSN Messenger 7":


Winks: Winks allow you to send kisses, hearts and all sorts of silly cartoons to your contacts.


Nudge: Nudge allows you to send a "shake" to your contact. Both your own and your contacts MSN Messenger window will shake, much like how Internet Explorer windows shake using the correct javascript.


Download packs: Download packs will allow users to grab winks/emoticons/display pictures and backgrounds straight from MSN. As these currently don't work we were unable to test them.


Games: Chess Club, Bankshot Billiards Club are included if you're a Instant Games Clubhouse member. Standard Checkers/Solitaire Showdown/Bejeweled/Minesweeper Flags and Tic Tac Toe are still included.


Activities: Activities allow you to share files, calendars, photos and perform tasks such as remote assistance.


Deluxe Display Pictures: Although these are unavailable it seems like MSN are going to supply animated display pictures.


Enabling the personal message to tell contacts what you are listening to currently (tick the option) will change your personal message to reflect the current mp3 you are listening to. Interestingly, when tested with a music video file in the current playlist the personal message is blanked out while the video file is being played. MP3 files listed in the playlist following the video file will continue to update the personal message.


You now have the option in your conversation windows to click on a link to bluemountain to search for new backgrounds and emoticons. This seems to be something of a coup on bluemountain's part as it is sure to generate a lot of additional traffic to their site. Additionally, there is an option in the conversation windows to type in an item to search for. Clicking on search heads to msn's search portal and returns the results to the person you are conversing with.
