You are correct. I found out myself while you posted
. There don't seem to be any real new features, but the installer is heavily changed (the REAL installer ES_Install_WLMessenger_8_5.exe signed by Microsoft), and obviously the style/layout has been changed.
Microsoft seems to be marketing the Windows Live brand more...
- In the startmenu you will find "Windows Live™ Messenger" in a "Windows Live" folder
- The ES_Install_WLMessenger_8_5.exe installer says "Windos Live" instead of "Windows Live Messenger"
- Default installpath is C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger instead of C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger
- Rightclick on ES_Install_WLMessenger_8_5.exe > Properties > Version > Internal Name (and Original File name) mention "WLSuite.exe" which suggests it comes from a Windows Live Suite that has multiple products in one installer, comparable to
Google Pack?
