The latest version is Windows Live Messenger 8.1.

Microsoft are renaming some services to Windows Live, such as Msn messenger, hotmail etc.

It should be there by default, as it is on mine.

Have you got unread messages in your inbox?

Microsoft has not got to 8.5beta yet, so either he lie to you to make you look like a fool or he just said it thinking that 8.1 is 9. lol

i much prefer the windows live one to the old msn. i refused to use msn for years as it never worked right, just switched back from yahoo, and only had problems 1 day and that was with sending webcam.

btw after restatring the figure reappeared next to the icon
