MSN Messenger 7.5.322 now available for English, French, and Spanish speaking users running MSN Messenger on XP.
Introductions
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is John W., and I'm a Test Engineer in MSN. I need your help over the holidays to help try out fixes in the latest update to v7.5. Nothing beats real-world verification. Except maybe pie. Mmm. Pie.
Rough Outline of Some Fixes in 7.5.322
· Some of you had trouble signing in to v7.5.311, we made some updates so that won’t happen as often, and when it does, you will see more descriptive messages explaining the problem.
· Also, we like to keep track of the errors you see when you have problems so we can fix them. We had a bug in our reporting system that is now fixed.
· People using a an IME (input Method Editor) with a Korean passport, were seeing an extra character after typing the shortcut for emoticons. Seriously, what’s more important in IMing than emoticons? We had to fix this. If you've got contacts in Korea, or know Korean yourself, give it a try!
· People saw MSN Messenger crash after running the setup for voice and video, selecting certain USB devices, and then unplugging one of those devices. No more!
The Plan
If you or someone you know has been having any of these problems. Tell them to download! (links in header above) Check back here to find out when more languages are available.

November 22 Dear IMUnplugged,
I love you. I'll always love you. My circumstances have changed...I've found sombody new...It's not you it's me...It may seem like the end of the world, but you'll be over me in no time...
As MSN transitions to Windows Live, me and my blogging are transitioning too. It's time for me to settle down and become a one-blog woman (ok, two - but three has just been insanity, and you're the one getting cut).
Oh, IMUnplugged, i never meant to hurt you.

November 08 Remember way back in the day when I posted about the World’s Best App Contest (MSN Messenger Activity API)? Well, yesterday Todd sent out a little update in email:
Since the contest, began we’ve had about a dozen entries submitted - all in the last ten days. I took a look at the list and tried to and guess what each of the apps did before following the link. You’ll see my guesses below, and as YOU can guess, I was way off on all of them.
Games:
- Scissor Stone Paper – You have to build something cool, using only these supplies. It’s like the first version of Sim City.
-
 Tank wars - domesticated goldfish stage an underwater coup. -
 Memory with Numbers - you’re a sweet-talker who travels from bar to bar scoring digits. The catch? You have no pen. You win the game by reaching the pay phone at the end of the night and successfully calling up the most hotties. -
Flip It! – You’re an angry Boston driver. Use your middle finger to get you where you need to go
-
Memory – test your memory by sending a birthday card to all of your extended family on the correct day
-
 Buzzword Bingo – Spell out words like TTYL, IMHO, and IDEKWISA to win great prizes! -
Chingo – Ok..i have no idea, just tell me.
-
Hangman – match up characters of different heights with different length ropes – win by effectively hanging the most characters.
Non-games:
- Sudoku – Ok, stumped again.
- Translator for IM – A program that helps you figure out what the f*!#@ your friends are saying when they type fun phrases like TTYL, IMHO, and IDEKWISA.
- Cards Exchange – get connected in the business world by sending your e-business card to your contacts. Potentially get a date out of it too.
-
 Virtual Earth Mapping – A sequel to the less-engaging Virtual Mars Mapping. That one always showed pictures of hot red rock no matter what address you put in.
If you’ve made it to the end of this post, then you deserve to know one other interesting fact (from Scott):
We are offering Beta invitations to the 1st five people who submit activity apps to the contest between now and Monday morning.
