Hum looks like those two new screenshots of the new Windows Live Messenger design could have been an early April Fools joke. If you look at them closely, you can see some obvious flaws in the design, which suggests they were not real. By now we would have expected a leak or some news from the live team but not yet which is very strange but they still maybe real and if they are, it sure is good news to me.

Everyone seems to want that design; well a small skin to slightly change Windows Live Messenger to look like that has been released thanks to the skinner, Monkey. It actually looks really good, and although it is mainly focused on the contact list, it looks like the real thing. If you want to uninstall you will have to uninstall Windows Live Messenger, and then reinstall it again. Enjoy!
