31.5.2006Windows Live Wave 3: Messenger v9
M1 dogfood build review and screenshots
Looks like its open-season on Wave 3 now, with Inky over at Mess.be getting his hands on the
Wave 3 Milestone 1 installer for Windows Live Messenger. While Inky may be obsessed with version numbers and about screens, we’re more
interested in what’s going on in terms of new integration across services. Its now been 9 months since the launch of Messenger 8.5, Mail and
Photo Gallery as part of Wave 2, but as this is only a first milestone, there’ll be other internal updates before a version gets released to the
public. That said, there’s still some positive signs that the eventual Messenger v9 release is going to be good.

12.08.2008Microsoft sends out Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta invites
No sooner has the Windows Live Wave 2 suite been released than the first Wave 3 beta begins - Windows Live Messenger v9. Unlike the betas that have
just finished, the Messenger v9 beta is being run from Microsoft Connect as a private beta, meaning that, for the moment at least,
unless you receive an invite, you won't be able to
participate.
For the moment it looks like most previous Windows Live testers are getting invites, so stay tuned to your inbox.
With such a popular beta like this, you better sign up quick.
So what's new? While the goodies aren't yet available, we've
heard about Multiple Points Of Presence (MPOP) support, which allows you to signin from multiple devices, ie be online at two places at once.

Mess.be: A few days ago we obtained the latest installer for Windows Live Messenger, version "2009". We were asked to keep it quiet for now, but of
course we couldn't contain our excitement and had to let all messers out there know about the new stuff. The most noticeable is of course the new
look, with colors and headers resembling the new Windows Live header that has been
discussed by Liveside
before. On top of that, it looks like all the various dialogs are now also properly styled like Windows Live Messenger, rather than having the
"old" Windows look. Here, why don't you have a look for yourself...

Gallery, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Toolbar, Windows Live Family Safety, and Windows Live Movie Maker Beta. The updates don't appear to
