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

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.

An other good feature would be IRC support.

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

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?

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...

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.

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

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.

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.
