Guest Kyle Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I know that messenger beta 2009 is out but is it a good idea to download before next year comes?
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: messenger beta ANY Beta product presents unusual risks. The biggest issue is always removal. If you install a beta program it may not uninstall properly or allow the final version to be installed over the pre-existing Beta. About the only way to mitigate that is with System Imaging. This allows you to experiment and once done restore the system to it's previous state. That being said, I use Google Earth and even though it has a Ver stamp of 4.__ it is still referred to by Google as a Beta release. All beta products will have a "Disclaimer" that you UNDERSTAND & AGREE it isn't guaranteed to work, uninstall or not mess up your computer.

Guest thecreator Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: messenger beta Hi Kyle, If you dual-boot your computer, you can install the Beta without problems. I use Acronis True Image Home Product to create a Partition Image and can always Go Back. Play around with Beta. You have nothing to lose with Acronis, if you have that product or a similar product. -- thecreator "Kyle" <Kyle@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D3005314-6A37-4599-AAAE-E8B5BC8AC2EF@microsoft.com... >I know that messenger beta 2009 is out but is it a good idea to download > before next year comes?
