The Hotfix.net website has posted a feature list that is expected to debut with version 8.0 of MSN Messenger sometime next year. While he hints that this is speculation and rumour, we are confident that this information is accurate.

While MSN Messenger 7.5 just came out, 8.0 is already being worked on and heading towards beta by the end of the year. A third party source whom is said to be from Microsoft has provided us with this information. Here's a list of possible and rumored features Microsoft is contemplating on going into the IM client:

    * Change of Messenger Skins
    * Real-time Emotions
    * Messenger Built Internal Windows Media Player 10
    * Pause/Resumed File Transfers (File Blocked Extension Applied)
    * Detailed File Transfer (Download/Upload Speed)
    * Animated Display Pictures (.gif .jpg .png (File Support under Consideration))
    * Mood Status
    * Faster Contact List Loading and scrolling
    * Public Profile and MSN Spaces Combined
    * More MSN Space features
    * New Hotmail and MSN Messenger Integration
    * Downloadable MSN Messenger on Mobile
    * News Updates according to Location
