Looks like M$ is doing viral marketing ala Google style. Supposedly their lates MSN messenger version 8 beta has been leaked. But you can only use it after you got an invite (remember G-mail ) Some of the new features in Messenger 8:
Skins (Microsoft supported)
Real-time Emoticons
Built-in functionality with Windows Media Player 10
Ability to pause/resume file transfers
Animated Display Pictures
Faster Contact List loading and scrolling
Offline Voice/Message Machine
Display Picture Ratings, New Hotmail and MSN Messenger integration
Top 10 Music Radio
Local top news items
But watch out! Theres also a virus arround that lives on the messenger 8 hype. Download it and instead of getting the new chat client the virus will send a link to all your contacts to download... yes: messenger 8 clicky click for more info
