Once the beta gets out, there's no putting the genie back in the lamp. It will be available SOMEWHERE if you're determined to find it. Remember what happened with the MSN 5 beta last year? Some sites had it linked, and then Microsoft contacted them and "asked" them to take the links down? But MS didn't contact ALL sites -- some still had it -- and some will again.
But really, who gives a rip? From the initial screen caps (which Neowin took down at MS's request) it doesn't look like such a big deal. I mean, whoooooo I get to see MY OWN display pic in the contact list. Big deal! It doesn't really seem like it should be a major release, but more like a 6.x upgrade with minor enhancements.
What I'm more interested in is whether the MSN protocol will change (again) and break Trillian/GAIM/Jabber/et.al. (again).
