MSN this week updated it's MSN 9 beta client to build 9.00.0009.1802 combined with a MSN Messenger 6.1 update to build 6.1.0128.

From a visible point of view not much has changed to Messenger 6.1 but MSN 9 has had minor changes in places such as E-mail. Users now have the ability to read their email in a "preview pane" and are able to add pop-3 accounts to the mail area of MSN 9.

Messenger plus! is still working correctly with build 128 of Messenger 6.1, however the new promised features and games are still absent. If you're currently on the MSN Beta you can download the new build by using the old installer, it will notify you that there is a new installer and then proceed to download the various updated components

MSN Messenger is EVIL. it secretly runs even without showing that its running in task manager.

F******* MSn messenger ! this s crap. If u have buddies on MSN - use trillian. If u want ot do a voice chat -- use Y! messenge. If u dont need any special features but just chat -- trillian is the best all in one. Never liked Msn's interface anyway. Its ugly and boring.
