Yesterday, Microsoft forced me to upgrade by beautiful Windows Live Messenger Version 8.5, to a cluttered up, ugly Version 9 (or 14).

Version 8.5 and all it's glory.

I don't like the change. It's something I'm bound to get used to but the memories of Version 8.5 will always be here with me…

Farewell… You will be missed. 😥 (November 2007 – November 5th, 2009)
