Ok so I keep getting all these e-mails from Hotmail about how it's improving and stuff, and one said that a beta for Windows Live Messenger 9 was out, and me in all my curiosity downloaded it =]

Since it was a beta version, signing in took an age, and this is what I saw:

Ok, it looks really artificial... more or less designed to fit Windows Vista and the upcoming Windows 7. Theres a cool new feature at the bottom that spams you about what your contacts have recently updated/done.

All of my avatars and emoticons have been taken away, and Messenger Plus! is gone too (this sucks so much) so the only real good thing about this is the "Favourite Contacts," feature... I mean, the new design doesn't even look that good.

I mean, all the statuses have been replaced instead by different coloured dots.

Woah, you get all these cools sounds which you can associate to nudges, people coming online, and people talking to you xD

This isn't that bad. I guess the only real problem is that I lost all my custom emotes.

You idiot, you should've made a backup for the emotes.

Haha, go your options and you'll see a few more differences, especially in the sounds area. The biggest difference of course is just the design, other than that, no.
