The day has come, an official version of msn 5.0.0317 has leaked on Neowin. Screenshots : 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 . Or if you want to try it yourself download it here or here.
One problem: the server doesn’t allow you to log in, but here are 2 (not so great bulletproof) work-arounds:
1. Get the fix created by brn2prgrm from Neowin. Only problem with this fix is that it will keep you online for a long time, but you can not send a message to any user because it’s too slow or won’t let you sign in.
2. Open regedit and search for the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
Change Server and TestEchoServer into:
messenger.hotmail.com;64.4.12.99:1863
Close msn and sign in again. This will only work for a few seconds.
Update thanks to mynsa from Neowin you can get the tabs back. Just replace msgslang.dll with an old one (4.7 / 4.6).
