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!
