@ROMANTICGUY50: Not sure if there is, as you can READ the article and you notice:

"'I was invited to join this beta but they are currently reviewing me to see if I can download it. Once i download it, screenshots and more info will be provided.'"

So it seems it is still Closed only to Beta Testers at the Moment...

I could be wrong though.

Hmm I think the Beta is via MS and not through nsane, unless I am misunderstanding you... So lol that would explain why you didn't get the notice =P

Yeah same here. I'm currently using the latest version (8.5.1302.1018) and I still keep experiencing high CPU usage especially when on a video conversation with friends. This would be expected if I was running other programs, browsing the Internet, playing media etc... but it's just WLM that is running. I just had a look earlier and it was running between 60-80% CPU usage. Not impressed. I hope they sort this out in the new version.

Anyone tried it yet?
