Running With Scissors

I wanted to share the low-down on some recent betas, from my point of view.

I've been playing with MSN 8 Beta for about 2 weeks now, thanks to Vlad.

Likes:

• Share folders – cool
• Offline messages – cooler
• Music Man – Totally awesome time waster! Loads of fun! Chris and I are having a blast!

Dislikes:

• Facelift – but I'm getting used to it
• Search button at the bottom of the main window (who searches in IM???)
• STILL no spell check (Trillian can do it, why can't MS?)

I was going to blog about IE7 Beta 2, but Music Man is still too fun. Lets just say that I love everything about IE7 except the RSS (lame compared to FireFox w/ Sage RSS plugin) and the disappearing text in text boxes. But it's beta, so I'll be nice.
