The numbering isn't going backwards. MSN Messenger 7.0.0816 got updated to 7.0.0820. You will be prompted to upgrade to the highest working version for your OS if using any of the vulnerable builds/versions. MSN Messenger 7.5 has always been WinXP only.

Oh! Alright. Now it makes sense to me! Thanks

I would be happy using WLM, but it doesnt have my favourite MP!3 thing (the contact renamer, which on WLM renames everything about the contact) Is GONE, luckly for anyone who still has MSN 7.5 there is a way to keep it - for XP(at your own risk)

close MSN
Right click on the icon and select the Tab "compatibility"
Select "run this program in compatibility mode"
Select windows 2000

It's probably expensive (in some way) to ensure that there are a number of MSN Protocols available for different versions, which must then be translated so that people running older software can still use the Messenger network. It's probably a lot more cost effective to have everyone running on the same level - hence the forced updates.
