Features (From the Microsoft Connect website) :

* Sign-in and messaging in multiple locations: You asked for it, now you have it! You can now sign into Messenger from more than one computer at a time, up to four at once. Simply sign into Messenger from one computer, install Messenger on another computer and sign in using the same account. (Only works if all computers are running Messenger 9.0 Beta. Currently enabled only for users whose Windows Live ID country is US or Canada.)
* Signature sounds: Pick your own personal sound that your contacts will hear when you sign into Messenger (only works if you and your contacts have Messenger 9.0 Beta).
* Per contact sounds: Pick unique sounds for each of your contacts. You will be able to tell from across the room who is sending you a message. COOL!
* SPAM Reporting: If users send you unsolicited messages or invitations that you consider spam, you can block them and report them as spammers. If you report a user as a spammer, the messenger service will collect this data and put appropriate restrictions on the spammer accounts. All reports of spammers are kept confidential. DIE!
* Animated Display Pictures: Show your moves! Messenger now supports animated .gif files as display pictures thumbs up for this one!
* Link in Personal Status Message: URLs in Personal Status Messages are hot and clickable in the Messenger contact list. Something that Yahoo! Messenger always had!

* Changes to sign-in, connectivity, presence, sending text IMs, voice & video features;
* Windows Live Contacts Server: wlcomm.exe runs in the background to keep your contacts’ information up-to-date and helps Messenger sign you in faster;

Recently, Yahoo! held its quarterly Hack Day at the Sunnyvale, CA headquarters.

At Hack Days, Yahoos from different areas of the company come together to display their ideas for product innovations. Sometimes they are completely new product ideas, other times they are extensions of an existing product.

This time around, there were several inspiring hacks that made use of Yahoo! Messenger, particularly our web version. These hacks aren’t available to the public, but I like to share ideas like this on the blog to give you a peek into the creative side of our Yahoo! developers.

- Webcam in Yahoo! Messenger for the Web
- Polyglot: Translating your IMs in real-time
