RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0
Patchou never made quick updates for past betas at all, the betas that he made an update for were those that were easier and public betas such as the 8.5 Beta and the widely released 9.0 Beta that was released / leaked. As far as i know those were the only releases that supported a beta, and that was simply because of the mass amount of people using the betas and the known length of time the beta was going to be available without change. As multiple people have stated, in Betas many things change, so there is no point making an effort to make something compatible when it could break again soon.
Also Windows Se7en was only provided to a select amount of partner companies in an effort to improve the compatibility issues that occurred during the release of Windows Vista, everyone knows of the Windows 7 release for torrents and stuff, not doubting that you may have legally obtained the beta, but the chances are slim. And believe it or not, when things are released and leaked publicly without Microsoft permission there are many more people using it than there should, therefore MS have a lot more work to do, and by downloading leaks your simply making MS more cautious about there releases to beta testers which DOES slow down the process.
