New MSN Messenger preview version comes today!
According to this press release, Microsoft will release MSN Messenger 6 preview at 11 am PDT here.
MSN Messenger 6 also offers innovative features that allow users to do the following:
- Choose a personalized background from a wealth of options such as cartoons, sports or international locations; create their own background from favorite photos or logos; and share favorite background themes with IM contacts
- Select customized display pictures of their favorite pet or celebrities or other pictures to represent themselves to contacts
- Choose from more than 150 fonts and 16 colors of type to represent their personal style
- Save favorite IM conversations to a personal hard drive with just one click via message logging
I hope this version will improve the webcam connections, since I experienced many problems with users behind firewalls (even UPNP). Fingers crossed ;-) ... Robert Scoble likes it.
