The short answer is: Technically Plus! might be able to let you set your nickname like in the old Messenger versions, but it wouldn't really matter. None of your contacts who use Messenger 2011 will see your nickname, they will still see your full name as you have is set on http://profile.live.com/details/edit/name.
Finish the problem

Yuna could integrate a "Plus! nickname" feature (which only Plus! users would see) but that has its obvious downsides.

Then you'll have 3 different nicks. defeats the purpose why people are requesting old nicks back.

it still doesn't 'fix' the fact that your real name is being displayed. it's not the real solution to this 'problem', it'd simply cover it up :p

I would like to see a "Plus! nickname" feature just because of the formatting stuff and so... :P I don't have any problem with showing my real name, I could change it in my Live Profile anyway :)

And Microsoft already started to set Windows Live Essentials 2011 as an important update, I have windows 7 and the Windows Updated downloaded the essentials 2011 updated and notified me but I hid it.

I still can sign in on Windows Live Messenger 2009 but I'm sure that soon we gonna get forced to use the new version as they always do each time they release a new msn. :s

Good thing Messenger Plus Live 5 is literally around the corner ^^

Yep, since the final release of Essentials 2011.

A public beta wasn't released because it wasn't/isn't ready for general public, just wait using Plus! 4.9 in Messenger 2011 or downgrade to get a fully operational Plus! on Messenger 2009.

If they do make a mandatory update, we can just set the compatibility mode t Windows XP, because Windows xp users have to use 2009 anyway :P
