MS:Windows Live Messenger 8.1

来自LiveSide的消息透露了部分关于Windows Live Messenger 8.1的最新消息，但他们只是宣传在不久的将来，最新一版的WLMessenger将会释出，却拒绝透露具体时间，理由是某产品发布计划往往会因为这样那样的事情而改变。

以下原文：

Things have been pretty quiet on the Messenger front lately. We have not seen a new build released since the end of October when it went into public beta. That means that it’s time for some shiny new Messenger goodness from Redmond. With that said, in accordance with our manifesto, I am not going to give any specific release date on the 8.1 build since this sort of thing shifts all the time up until the actual release. However, we can safely say that you can expect to see the new build in the very near future.

Also, here are just a few more notes on the current status of Messenger 8.1. The word is that we will see the final build released to the web in early 2007 and that the 3rd party add-ins feature will continue to be in beta when version 8.1 is released.
