Hmm... seems to work fine with no problem. At first I thought this will be closed beta.

QUOTE The new version features a new and improved UI (User Interface) that also combines Windows Aero, and minor fixes to the user interface. The setup program has also received a new look, along with the setup programs for Windows Live Mail and Writer. It will also for the first time install in a Windows Live Messenger folder, compared to previous versions installing in a MSN Messenger folder, and the shortcut will be placed in a new 'Windows Live' folder in the Start menu. A new "Bunny" emoticon has also been added. It will also have improved security, integrating itself with Windows Live OneCare. [1][2][3] It is unsure if this is version 8.5 as its menu bar and About box describe it as 'Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA' Source from Wiki Err, what is this bunny emotican?? Where?
