Windows Live Messenger 8.1 may only just be out the door but it would appear that work has already started on the next version of Messenger - version 9.
According to f1ux0nat0r at Live and Beyond:
Windows Live Messenger 9.0 has already begun (there will be no more interim releases, or at least if there are, there won’t be any beta programs for it). Current testers of Windows Live Messenger 8.1 who have access to the Microsoft Connect pages will be automatically transferred to the next beta (9.0) so don’t you worry - plenty more to come.
Last October, we reported that the Messenger team had started planning for WLM 9 - but has work really started already?
Salem, another official Connect tester of Windows Live Messenger, seems to slightly contradict this and says that a member of the Windows Live team called Mike answered some questions from Connect testers about future betas and the new release:
Mike also confirmed that there are a few plans for a forthcoming WLM Beta process, the team are not yet sure if this will be for a minor (8.x) release or a major one (9.0) or when this will be.
So at the moment it looks like we do not have a clear idea of what the next Messenger beta will be. It could well be version 9 unless problems with the current 8.1 version arise. We'll just have to wait and see.
