Windows Live Messenger 9 BETA

Messenger 9 BETA

It was released to a few Microsoft Beta Testers, But someones slipped it out? Features include:

• Animated DP's: Adds support for Animated GIFs. (However this is only visible to other WLM9 Users.
• Right Click Menu on Contact List: Allows you to make different sounds happen depending on who signs in.
• Sound Menu and Editor: Pick how long a song plays before applying it to sounds like Contact Signs in or Nudge (In Options Menu)
• Skype-like Chat: Groups text said sequentially.
• New Blocking Feature: You can block, or block and report for Spamming to the WLM Service.
• Link in Personal Status Message: URLs in Personal Status Messages are hot and clickable in the Messenger contact list.
• Sign in to the same account on multiple computers at the same time: Pretty much the title, this can also be disabled to prevent account takeover.

It also has some security fixes and background updates. It doesn't look much different.

Still, it's better then WLM 8.5 at the moment.

I've been using it for 2 days, and there are no major bugs or flaws.

I never knew of this, so thanks

[The Professor]

that report to microsoft thing will be abused like hell. And can someone explain to me what the sign in twice on the same PC is useful for, I can't quite get my head around it :S

Either way, I'm not giving up my precious skin on 8.1 for anything so it doesn't matter

Nonono, it's sign in one more then one PC with the same account.

But then conversations would come up on both computers and it would be stupid.

[Wootzeh]

Any ideas when it's coming out officially?

Okay, I didn't make it so it doesn't affect me.
