Dynamic display pictures are not the same as animated gif display pictures.

Dynamic display pictures are ones you have to download from within Messenger itself from a third party (Meego, Quebles are ones I have here, may differ for other countries), and usually you have to buy these. To get them you click change display picture and then there should be a few links in the window to create or download them. They have been in Messenger since version 7 IIRC.

Setting animated gifs as a display picture is only supported in WLM 9 Beta. If you try setting one in any other version then all you will see is the first frame of the gif.

Also, if you DO set an animated gif in WLM 9 Beta, then only other people with the beta will see it animated, otherwise all they will see is the first frame.
