Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Released!

As Live and Beyond reports here, there were 3,009 registered users on the beta and it is now released. That post also tells that the work for 9.0 is already begun. I really expect a new version of Windows Live Messenger specifically designed for Vista like the one under development for Yahoo. It looks really cool!
