Windows Live Messenger 8.5

Today an internal build of Windows Live Messenger 8.5 was leaked by Messenger Addictos, a site dedicated to Windows Live Messenger and related products. The new build includes a completely new installer system (though it appears it might need some tweaking). Messenger itself also got a complete overhaul, featuring a new UI that combines the best of Windows Live and Vista. The new build also includes several minor new features, some of which are still undisclosed. Unfortunately support for Plug-Ins (or 'Add-Ins')

has been dropped. Click on the links below to view some screenshots of the new Messenger: Source: www.mess.be

^^ thnx for the link and good to see that at last they hv changed the installation folder name to "Windows Live".

But it caused a problem. I use WLMD and I used to launch WLM from it using the user image a Top Right corner but after installing WLM 8.5, its giving error that u don't hv latest WLM version installed on ur system. Click OK to open the website to download it.

I think its happening bcoz of the folder name change. I hope they'll fix it in next version of WLMD...
