@Godders, techically 8.5 is still a beta, but even if it wasn't it can currently only (officially) be installed through the Windows Live suite installer which is a beta.

Glad to see they're retaining 98/2k support - I have to use msn on than sometime.

On another note - why not 8.5? As far as I can tell it's out of beta (at least the version I'm using does not say beta anywhere - not even in help > about). (Build no. 8.5.1288.816)

They didn't seem to release a new version of MSN Messenger 7.5 which addresses this vulnerability as well.

I understand why 7.0 is updated to cater for Windows 98 and 2000 users (because v7.5 is Windows XP or above only), but they shouldn't assume that everyone on Windows XP has upgraded to Windows Live Messenger 8 already.
