    it is already out.

    go here.
    http://download.live.com/

    if you already has the version 8 (the previous version)
    run the "wlsetup" again then you should see at the bottom left said that "this application will be updated - windows live messenger".

    i'm installing right now. your question made me check ;)
    strange that they dont use that "update notification" when i log on to messenger. like usual.

    It has been out since around new year officially.
    On the 26th December I installed messenger onto my new harddrive which I changed, I then noticed it was beta... but I couldn't get the version 8.5 to install anyway, so I left the beta on.
    By the time around january came, the actual beta had ended BUT the build number 14. etc... which was BETA actually became the last version which is now the official release. So I have not had to re-download luckily ;)

    Windows Live Messenger 2009 FTW! The new interface is cool feels 2009ish (Dunno what that means but it sounds cool :D ), Ya kinda gotta dig for the options though not as obviously placed out as the older version. But still its worth DL'ing.

    no, but first: this is not a client but a server problem, second, it's somehow related with yahoo, and not really msn per se.

    so the application has nothing to do with it and is 100% correctly working. it's a network/server thing.

    it may have to do with the fact that 99% of the direct adress spammers are yahoo.fr? :) at least i only get directly targeted spam from yahoo.fr adresses. i'm from switzerland.. :)

    Mine is flipped :p. But that is because Asux cannot offer a proper 64 bit driver.
