Well at least this makes the rumours about a 16/6 release look true
And you know what that means....

A Redmond une fête similaire est également prévue quelques jours plus tard, mais aucune information concernant la sortie ! Merci à Romain de Live Backstage pour le démenti. La troisième annonce sera la bonne c'est promis. En attendant, le buzzz continue...

That means that there's only a internal celebration in Microsoft France but no information about the release so will be probably delayed again

Also the andyman, a guy with a great eye for news has noticed it was a rumored release date for Windows Live Mail plus the new @live and @windowslive domains will come out the next day. But over the last week all these rumors that have been revelaed were not true and have given the websites a bad reputation e.g. Win Future and The Hotfix.

I think people really need to find better sources, how do they even know the launch party is that day and then come to conclusions. The release maybe be before that date or after .... Well at least I think that, I would of thought they would of had a party after a release.

For @live.com and @windowslive domains it wasn't a rumor. It was posted on http://mail-support.spaces.msn.com but it was deleted few hours after...

Lapytsh is now reporting that Windows Live Messenger will be released on Monday, June 19th. The actual post is in French, but it reports that Microsoft plans to have their internal launch party for WL Messenger on the 19th.

Im just going by what is said here as i cant read French

What has been quoted previously actually says it's not going to be released the 19th, but is a celebration.

Hello!
We'd like you to be among the first to try a new beta version of Messenger.


If you use MSN® Messenger now, we think you're really going to enjoy Windows LiveTM Messenger. It's as fun and reliable as the Messenger you already know, and you won't lose your contact list or any other personal information when you try this new version.

Some of the new stuff it will let you do:

Use Windows Live call to sign-up for MCI Web Calling to get incredibly low rates on calls to phones across the country or around the world
Windows Live Messenger is more customisable than ever - choose your colours and more
Drop documents into special folders that you and your contact can access even when one of you is off-line

Please keep in mind that since this is a beta, some features are still in progress. And that we need your feedback if there's anything that doesn't seem to working right, or that you would like to see done differently.

And in case you were wondering about the new name, Windows Live Messenger is part of a new family of services from Microsoft® that includes Windows Live Mail (now a simpler, safer, faster mail), and Live.com (a new personalised homepage experience), to name just a couple.

Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon.

The Windows Live Messenger team

Im confused

Not really Nathan, beta has ended and the email is saying "try a new beta" not "test a beta"

I got it after a couple of weeks it being out as a non-public beta, this was:
