New Windows Live Messenger Beta
Finally the Windows Live Messenger, the new version of the MSN Messenger, already is in beta by invitation and, between many good things, they added a function of VoIP calls of PC to traditional lines that do not finish convincing to me.
Before nothing, if you registered yourself in Microsoft Connect and a mail with the invitation arrived to you, podés to unload the program directly from if you did not receive the code nor you do it here because this version is with activation.
Telephone PC
The function that added is brilliant, now podés to call from the Messenger to any line number fixes or cellular directly, single pasás mouse by a contact and opens a contextual menu that gives that option you; this is the first sample of as Teleo it is being integrated in Win, but leaving of east side subject the great problem is that the calls will only be available via partners.
For example, MCI or announced it officially and, when working with SIMPLE protocols SIP and, it allows the more flexibility for dual-phones etc. but the problem is in which the service is due to activate with cards prepayments (like in many VoIP providers) but necesitás IF or IF to have to partner of Microsoft in your area; that of moved leaves of side to but of average world or they imagine that we are going to have to partner in the so fast Spanish-speaking world?
With any other service (Skype, Yahoo! etc.) only one puts its number of card in the Web and I list. until compass a fixed number so that they call to you, point. The only doubt is to know whichever people are going to think that this it is the only service and they are going it to contract.
Changes in the interface
The new interface is simply brilliant. Watch screenshots available in blog official. The amount of changes, with menus via mouse-hover, the interface of calls, the new function of “shared you case out” and the new íconos improved MSN in an impressive form.
Small changes
A new very good function is the one of “shared you case out”, an implementation of which has messenger of Yahoo! the weather is good and that she is one of the things that I like more. For that it does not know it, it allows you to share folders, archives and etc, so that across they know that compartis and only lowers to their PC or keep in his “briefcase” the archives that interest to you.
Better search; as finally the amount of contacts allowed in your 600 list to and above to rename them in different forms and to integrate it with your local address book, finally put a button search so that one can find the contacts of one more a faster and logical form, “to lá Suggest” the results are appearing as tipeás.
A detail that seems to me amused is the possibility of having conversations in “invisible way” that is, when entrás in hair net so that nobody bothers to you (that boludez) podés to initiate a conversation with some these contact and nobody finds out in fact that online; and the last one is that they allow to put a code in your blog/página so that people can llamarte directly dsde there (if she is that to somebody him:P can interest this.)
Really, every day they put a change more and while some are really very good, others are not worth nor the trouble.
