Windows Live Messenger - Without Invitation ?

I read on a blog yesterday that windows live messenger beta also known as msn messenger 8 is public we no longer need invitations for it . I decided to give it a try . Downloaded the installer from here which is 13.6 MB . Installation was fine but when i tried logging in it said that i havent got any invitation . I checked the blog again which now says that it was an accident and the server is fixed again . But finally I found a direct link to the invitation acceptance page . So we dont need invitation unless microsoft fixes the link .

The interface looks better but i couldnt find any big improvements . Its a lot heavier on the system taking up 10 mb of ram while talk uses only about 2 mb . Like yahoo we can send offline messages and apart from changing the display name we can add a personal message . They have even added advertisemets in the chat window (check it out at the bottom) . I dont think it brings anything new to go with the name change .

Edit - We can also use theme packs , send animated cartoons called My Winks and BUZZ!!! over contacts ! This way doesn't works for Windows Live Mail Beta
