Windows Live Messenger 9 RC build 1202 has been released. This new build has several enhancements as well as new features :

1. New messenger scenes!
2. Status text contact name in contact list has been removed.

5. Redesigned sign-in layout.
6. Fixed the highly publicised custom emoticon bug
7. New layout options.
I) Sort your categories alphabetically or by status

III) Show your offline SMS contacts in their own category
8. Redesigned toasts with transparency effects.
9. New messenger buddy icon.
10. Redesigned conversation window (minor tweaks from previous Wave 3 build).
