As reported in mess.be another Beta build of WLM9 has appeared (build 14.0.3921.717) Don’t get too excited, because you won’t be able to download it yet. Some new highlights:
- New look, with colors and headers resembling the new Windows Live header
- New Groups feature
- DP pictures are now displayed on the left-hand side in conversation windows (hopefully Microsoft will give users the choice of making it appear on the right-hand side like v8.5)
- New Photo sharing feature.
Stay tuned for more news as and when it becomes available.

August 12, 2008 at 2:44 pm #170886Jeff HesterKeymasterIs there anything really new in this beta? Something to get excited about? How about posting some screenshots here?

August 12, 2008 at 3:14 pm #170888GandalfMemberOther than cosmetic things, the only thing I see is renaming groups to categories, and creating a new “group” functionality.
August 13, 2008 at 2:41 pm #170892MrOatsMemberI agree with Jeff and Gandalf.
It’s new…but…nothing to scream about.

Did we ever have something to scream about with this app? 😛
August 14, 2008 at 4:30 am #170893PhilipModeratorI do agree about the cosmetic changes, and here comes my own two cent’s worth. I’m pretty much happy even with WLM8.5; it does everything I need (I’m basically a typing sort-of-guy, and the Sharing Folders feature is convenient). But like it or not, people will usually be drawn to the latest version when it eventually hits the road.
And knowing the big M, we might be in for another “forced” upgrade. Only time will tell.

August 19, 2008 at 2:52 pm #170890StigmataMemberthere was mention of some photosharing thing which was related to sharing folders?
