Still wondering what to get that Microsoft enthusiast for the holidays? Microsoft's Windows Live team has an idea -- an invitation to a limited beta of Microsoft's next-generation instant-message client, Windows Live Messenger.
Microsoft is auctioning off invitations to the private beta release of the forthcoming client on eBay Inc.'s auction site, according to a posting on the Windows Live team's blog.
"Xbox 360 is not the only thing in short supply this holiday season," according to a posting on the Windows Live blog.
