But... looks like the build in the screenshot is about 4 months old already:

so its probably changed somewhat

But as someone has said, dunno were exactly, they do have the tendency to stick with the overall layout. And then publish a public beta (in some cases) to get the reactions of the public, but by that time it is already waaaaaay too late to change anything drastically!

What often does change are small things, like a button which moves from here to there, or a color scheme, or the border thickness of something, etc. But not the grand layout...

So, I fear for the worst, but I do hope I'm completely wrong in that.

Maybe it's time for us developers to create our own client?  With support for Plus!-features.

Wasn't the WLM 8 private beta a lot different from to the final version (especially the contact list)?
