According to an email sent out tonight to users of MSN Direct Spot watches, which will not support the new Wave 3 version, Windows Live Messenger is set to be released on February 10, "2008" (sic). The email gives the correct start date for the beta (Sept 17, 2008). Of course it remains to be seen whether or not the release schedule is met, but this gives us some indication of the timetable for Wave 3 final releases.
The find was discovered by Microsoft MVP Johnathan Kay, an expert in MSN/ Windows Live Messenger. However, although I do not doubt the legitimacy of the email, I have a few concerns as this was not a message sent by the Windows Live Messenger team. Firstly, the date claims to be in February 2008, which has already passed, but many have inferred this to be a typo. Secondly, Microsoft rarely announce release dates because any midnight bugs may show up. Finally the exact date of February 10th is odd because it is over 4 months away and development progress may be completed way before then. I'm calling my bluff on this one.
