MSN Messenger 7 Beta Drops 'Winks'
2 Comments
Microsoft has released to beta testers a new preview build of MSN Messenger 7, numbered 225, which removes the touted "Winks" feature. Described as animations with sound that grab the attention of IM contacts, Winks first appeared in Microsoft's ThreeDegrees concept before being added to the Messenger 7 beta. But testers soon found many avenues to exploit the feature, allowing malicious content to be loaded on a contact's computer. Nudges, which make IM notification windows vibrate, remain in the beta.
