Well it didn’t take long for information to start appearing about the Messenger 9 Beta – a poster over on the WinBeta Forums has posted a welcome email and some screenshots.  According to the post, the email says, in part:

Congratulations and welcome to the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta!
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta program! We’re excited to hear what you think about the next version of Windows Live Messenger. As part of this select group you get an exclusive preview of Windows Live Messenger 9.0.
Here are some of the changes you’ll see in 9.0:
Sign-in and messaging in multiple locations – be logged into Messenger from more than one computer at the same time!

Here are the links to the screenshots included in the forum post:

    Another leak…. :-(

    How long will it take the team to look in the database and find who has the first name of “WOLF” in the beta.

  • Spcook

    How is it a leak, I had the email last night saying I could download it from MS Connect…
    Oh, and it runs pretty good apart from a few bugs that the team should fix soon.

  • cjones

    An interesting tidbit from the about box–the beta is christened Version 2009.

  • cleitondj

    I have just downloaded 9.0.. instaled and approved!

    works fine! =)

  • G-Z

    the new features are not spectacular but reasonable and interesting. I hope they will also make some changes to the interface too. It should and could be much more minimalistic. It is way to overloaded at the moment.

  • CalumJR

    What bugs did u find Spcook? Because I have been accepted to download the beta but I only have one laptop which I use for personal use and don’r want to have it if it’s unstable…

  • BasP

    I’m kind of underwhelmed. The UI could use a cleanup by now, and apart from the multiple sign in points, there’s nothing very interesting going on.

    Where’s the feature that’ll let me use multiple Live ID’s at the same time, for instance? That’d be an interesting new feature for an X.0 release.

    Also, will the Vista version actually use the Aero interface now, instead of that mock-Aero interface that 8.5 has?

  • wideawakewesley

    All I can say is, it’s a bloody good job the A-Patch exists.

  • Mephiles

    An other good feature would be IRC support.

  • Kip Kniskern

    Sorry Stephenof – you are welcome to post comments here, but LiveSide is not a source of leaked downloads. Any links to them will be removed, as I have removed the one you posted.

    I have already Windows Live Messenger 9, but not through Microsoft. It has been leaked. It is now circulating the Net.
