Fresh release of Windows Live Messenger 8.1 beta. Superficial.

It’s the first step after the brand name change. Windows Live Messenger 8.1 has just been released in beta version. Of course, as its version indicates it well, it’s not a major upgrade. In fact, new features are quite superficial. Here’s the list.
- Roaming identity, so you stick with your nickname and avatar.
- Contact card, finally bundling the world most popular IM client.
- A bunch of new emoticons, backgrounds, and display pictures.
- SMS phone book. Just the cellphone number entered in the contact book.
- New contact emotion, just to say ‘enchanté’ to new people.
- Sign out as a status menu. The smartest idea of the beta!!!
- Report abuse. The extension of what MSN UK has already included into its MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.
Although the WL Messenger warns it’s a work in progress, we hope the final release would include better features than those.
