“We will soon configure the service such that any user on Windows XP or later system has to use Windows Live Messenger 8.1. When a user using an older version of Messenger tries to login, the client will help the user with a mandatory upgrade to Messenger 8.1.

Sheeze, i wish they wouldn't even bundle messenger with the OS...didn't Vista fix this (if i remember right). Vista provides a link to download and install it, but it isn't a pre-loaded program anymore.
