HI all

I am new to all this Messenger Plus and skinning stuff and just wanted to know roughly how long does it take for the downloadable skins for Live Messenger 2009 Public, to become available please? I could use some of them earlier when it was 8.5 (or maybe Beta 2009 as was in hospital so can't quite remember)? Was just wondering thats all? Many thanks in advance for any assistance given and cheers for all the hard work with the brilliant skins (that I have used before).
