Hi,
After checking out the following pages I'm having the feeling that anyone being a beta tester can invite other people...

Is it really true?

Yes it's true. Anyone who is a beta tester can invite upto 5 other people. Beta-testers are encouraged to invite people who share their computer as the others won't be able to sign in on WLM otherwise.

[Edited Batty]There must be some reason why MS wanted only Beta users to try WLM 8 .. So posting links like these goes against it .. And hence I have removed the URL ..

Using Proxies and downgraders in not only illegal but also dangerous as your password and the chat data will be at risk.

Yes that is possibly true. But you can use LiveConnect to enable transparency on WLM without using the downgrader if you are a beta-user. I don't know if the downgrader is safe as I didn't create it but my firewall, antispyware and antivirus software didn't see anything amiss.

The transparency and other upgrades are perfectly safe, i created them. I am a official beta-tester anyway, so I am not really worried. I used to use the downgrader till I got my invite from microsoft.

Abhinav what you have on your blog is a word-for-word copy from the ORIGINAL article which shows how to get into the program. A similar one is already posted on the Digit forum.

I had put up such a link to my blog, but it was edited by a moderator. I wonder how long it will be before your entry gets edited. You can still visit my blog to know what I mean by clicking on the WWW link beneath this entry.
