Windows Live Messenger 9
Microsoft has started allowing beta testers to download version 9 of Windows Live Messenger. But if you aren't one of the few thousand people Microsoft sent a download link to, you can still download the installer thanks to Softpedia.

So what's new in Windows Live Messenger 9 beta? Here are a few of the new features:
  • Login from several different locations without logging out first.
  • Create "signature sounds," that your friends will hear when you sign in, or select custom sounds or songs that will play when your friends login. You can choose from a list of sound files or create a 5 second clip from any WMA or MP3 files on your computer.
  • Use animated GIF files for your display picture
