I'll quote what I just wrote on my blog:

I'm sure you've heard it by now, we've had a beta chat tonight with fellow developers, program managers, and experts. We've had many questions answered, but I'm not allowed to directly quote them unfortunatly (But I'll say, go to Mess.be if you want that ).
Windows Live Messenger has been in beta since before December, and it's time it has came to an end. The ETA for the final product is set for late April as all learned tonight at the chat. The managed beta testers are not going to receive another build, and we've done all we can for now. I have enjoyed this beta and I look forward to future builds. What can we expect in the future? The possibilities are endless. However, I can tell you this much. The most requested feature, Tabbed Chatting, is going to be included in the next release. We're not quite sure if the team meant the PUBLIC release, or the next VERSION of 8.0. What I can tell you is that all of the managed testers in this beta can expect testing that version before anyone else.
Other than that, there were just the usuall requests and suggestions. We have a lot of new things comming to us in the future, I'll keep those a secret (For now ). I'd like to take the time to thank the developers and experts for taking the time to chat with us and I look forward to future chats! That's all for now, but again the transcript can be found on the newsgroups for managed testers, and for everyone else who wants it go check out Mess.be.
