Windows Live Messenger - New Version?
keep getting an alert telling me about this. Loath, as always, to fix anything which isn't broken and risk screwing things up, can anyone tell me if it's worth bothering?

Re: Windows Live Messenger - New Version?
its just an update not a major upgrade in versions, it just puts it to 8.5.1302 or something similar

Re: Windows Live Messenger - New Version?
Seems to be mostly cosmetic differences, and it adds a Windows Live menu in your start/programs menu, which has a link to Windows Live Home.

Not sure what that it yet as I haven't clicked on it! Lol
