Somehow YM for Windows Vista looks even more Vista-ish, because of the fully transparent window, anyone agrees with me?

what's new in 8.5 other than its UI?
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_...e_Messenger_8.5

Changes include:

* This version now requires Windows XP SP2, compared to previous versions requiring SP1.
* In conjunction with the release of Windows Live 2.0, a new setup program was introduced.
* It is now installed to a 'Windows Live' folder in the C drive, and the shortcuts are placed in a 'Windows Live' Start Menu folder.
* All Messenger windows have a new look.[11]
* A new 'bunny' emoticon has been added.[12]
* Windows Live OneCare Family Safety integration was added.[13]
* Updates can now be downloaded and installed through Microsoft Update.

The last one is great IMO
