I just finish installed Windows Server 2008 R0 over Microsoft VirtualPC 2007. I see small noticeable change during installation that is Server 2008 R0 forces Administrator to change password before start Server for first time, contrast to what I experienced with Beta3. This look more close to Linux system.
Another thing is, because I test it on VPC 2007, it support VPC Tools better than previous Beta. I can move mouse across host and guest OS without touching release bottom.
I will dig into more detail later this day.

Today Microsoft push another forced to MSN/WL Messenger user to upgrade. The user who currently using Windows Live Messenger 8.5 beta 1 will be forced to upgrade to beta 2. If you are already running Beta 2 you will not affected.
For all you beta 1 users out there, you should expect to start seeing the upgrade prompts. We’re testing a few different upgrade scenarios with this release, so it is expected that different operating systems will have different upgrade experiences:
- Windows XP users will see the new unified installer experience as an optional update
- Windows Vista 32- and 64-bit users will see the Windows Installer and MSI experience as a mandatory update
- Windows XP 64 and Windows 2003 Server users will see the Windows Installer and MSI experience as an optional update
These scenarios are all part of our beta testing – thanks again for being a beta tester!

Ok, since Microsoft forced the old MSN Messenger user on Windows XP to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BUT you don’t want it. How to avoid upgrading to WLM 8.1?
The step is simple. Just jump into MSN Messenger folder and change “compatibility mode” to Windows 2000. That’s all.
If you already installed 8.1, the way back is uninstall it and re-install your old MSN Messenger, then change compatibility mode before signing in.
