Today an internal build of Windows Live Messenger 8.5 was leaked by Messenger Addictos, a site dedicated to Windows Live Messenger and related products.
The new build includes a completely new installer system (though it appears it might need some tweaking). Messenger itself also got a complete overhaul, featuring a new UI that combines the best of Windows Live and Vista. The new build also includes several minor new features, some of which are still unknown. Unfortunately support for Plug-Ins (or “Add-Ins”) has been dropped.
The leaked build is only available in Spanish at the moment, but there is a easy way to patch that to get the English version.
Facts:
– New installer icon
- New setup look
- New Desktop icon (with TM branding)
- New installation path (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger)
- New GUI
- Windows OneCare integration
- New smile. Just type (‘.’) in a convo window

What you have to do is
first you have to uninstal all messengers
then you install 8.1 and on this one 8.5 at least messenger plus 4.23
