But yeah, it will last, as in: they wont force you to use WLM 2011 because that is not compatible with XP anymore; it is build for another OS.

What? I don't use XP, that's the weird thing. I'm on 7, plus I'm also on the latest version (14.0.8117.416). So far it hasn't bugged me again, it's letting me sign in and everything, but it did try to get me to redownload the 2011 suite from Windows Update.

EDIT: Unless you mean that I somehow had an older version before I upgraded and subsequently downgraded again, at which point I installed build 8117 from Menthix's filedump... in fact I think I see what you mean. Oh well, case closed I guess.

What do you mean? Windows Live Messenger is a "Live" update (hence the "live" in it's name :P)

But if you mean when will there be a Messenger Plus! Live version fully compatible with WLM 2011, then the answer is somewhere in December (if all things go well). See 'Plus 4.9 on WLM 2011. Which features work and which ones don't' or the official latest news on www.msgpluslive.net.

Indeed.

It doesn't matter what OS you use in this case; you were running on old (insecure) build of WLM 2009.

The only thing, in regards to what OS you use, is that if you use Windows 7, then the update will suggest WLM 2011 instead of WLM 2009 (which is quite a logical suggestion in that case). If you're running XP, you wont get suggested to update to WLM 2011 as that is only compatible with Windows 7.

So, yeah.... update to latest WLM 2009 build (if you prefer WLM 2009) and all will be well. Although it might be that from time to time you'll get that suggestion again to update to WLM 2011 though...

Also, the block function IS GONE meaning that people you have blocked see you online if youre  using 2011, what a pile of crap.
If i use 2009, that problem goes away?

Also what is the version of Plus that works with this one? (2009)
