  Messenger 9 news unveiled at Georgia Tech presentation
Time: 06:26 EST/11:26 GMT | News Source: LiveSide | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In a presentation to the Georgia Institute of Technology's IEEE Student Branch yesterday, Microsoft employee and Georgia Tech Andrew Jenks had some surprises in store. "It wasn't originally planned to be announced yesterday, but when he found out he was coming down (since this is his alma mater) he wanted to announce it", so instead of his planned talk on "Life and development at Microsoft", he spent the hour announcing a new Messenger API - "the Tech Preview will be released during MIX 08 and the Beta 1 will be released when WLMessenger 9 ships in late 08 or early 09", according to Steven Hollingsworth, a Georgia Tech student and IEEE Student Chapter member who attended the presentation.

  • New API coming for Messenger, hopefully including "full support for everything the full messenger client uses"
  • API Tech Preview to be released at Mix08, Beta 1 API ready with Messenger 9 final
  • Messenger 9 ships in late 08 or early 09
  • MS is trying to work out a way for WLM users to chat with AIM/GTalk/ICQ: basic internal version of GTalk working now
  • Brand new version of Messenger for Mac OS X coming - "really cool and awesome", MSN Messenger for Mac will not be updated
  • Xbox Live, now using Messenger 7, will be upgraded to 8.5 or possibly 9

jesus christ - early 09? yeah ok - I'll hold my breath.

Just let me know the day before it comes out. I still won't care then either.

Yeah, that's right..make the Mac messenger more cooler and awesome...and no IM on Windows to compete with iChat (multiperson video conferencing with H.264 quality, recording video conversations, video backdrops, sharing photos, presentations etc, multiple logins, photobooth effects)...and WLM 9 coming more than a year later...that's so fast!

#3, You obviously have never seen, or used any of the Unified Messaging servers, clients and tools that MS has made available...

They make iChat look like a toy. Everyone of our locations, clients, staff, homes, cars, mobile devices, security systems are all fully integrated and knowing and see exactly who we want, when we want and from where we want, is as normal and easy to do as entering in a couple of characters... e.g., ll for Lloyd, etc...

Not saying iChat isn't good - just saying there is far better available and as a service, a hosted, integrated service, one can extend the ability for the cost of CALs and support - so hint... hint... there is room in the channel for a lot of providers and partners - something iChat and Apple never even think about... enabling and enriching others.

And you've probably never seen iChat. What you're referring to falls into the enterprise client-server space, not on the consumer desktop.

#5 By 23275 (172.16.10.31) at 11/1/2007 5:29:07 PM
#4,Yes, I have seen/used iChat - have Macs running in our lab with every build since OS 8.

Also, HaaS - hardware as services, is what we do - not leased hardware - not that mess, but real services baked into every PC - every tiny little network and hosted services that would otherwise be found only in large enterprises is where we work and what we do - delivering all the benefits and power of the well managed enterprise to companies as smal as one professional. Been doing it for years and been spanking Apple/Mac and other *nix with the truth, better services and lately, more compelling hardware designs of our own.

It's called competing and we like it - we do it and very often win.

Apple sells [very effectively] what I refer to as the appearance of a lifestyle.
We sell a real lifestyle. I don't dislike Apple - don't get me wrong here - but I do like competing and winning. Please consider, Hardware as a Service - Selling a Lifestyle
