“After months and months of hard work (and a lot of fun!) the Windows Live Messenger team is proud to release our latest beta,” revealed a member of the Windows Live Messenger team offering a few details on the new features available to end users starting with Favorites. “If you are like me, you have a few IM buddies you chat with a little more frequently than others. People like your family, best friends, or significant other hold a special place in your heart, and now they hold a special place in your favorite IM client.”
But at the same time, there are additional features delivered with this Beta, including Groups, What’s New Feed, Personalization, Photo sharing etc. The graphical style and user interface of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) has evolved consistently compared to version 2.0. Users will be able to notice that the implementation of the new GUI spans from the main window of the new iteration of Microsoft's instant messaging client all the way to the conversation window.

Build 14.0.5027.908 of the IM client is designed to be aware of what a user's friends are up to. In this regard, version 9.0 Beta offers notifications via the What’s New Feed feature every time a buddy makes modifications to their Windows Live Space, the display picture or their status.
“Messenger has always had great ways to express yourself, but in the latest version we take it to a whole new level. Dynamic display photos, animated display photos, and hyperlinked personal status message URLs,… but the most dramatic feature has to be Scenes. Wait until you see it,” promised the member of the Windows Live Messenger team.
In addition, Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) Beta Build 14.0.5027.908 also permits end users to sign in from a variety of locations and from different devices simultaneously. To complete the experience, Microsoft has also improved the photo-sharing capabilities of the instant messaging client delivering two-way synchronization functionality.
