    Windows Live gives us a better circle to contact each other. You can setup a new web group; you can  post note after seeing the contacts updating in his or her network. But you should install Windows Live 2009 firstly.

    Read it before update ur MSN to 8.5 beta

    WLM 8.5 Beta exposes users to svchost.exe bugs
     
    I cfmed below issue that bloged in mess.be.
     
    As we've cleary seen with the release of 8.5.1238.0601 yesterday, Microsoft is appealing to Microsoft Update for simplifying the Windows Live Messenger update procedure. And unless you carefully read the Terms of Use acceptance dialog when you installed the first 8.5 Beta a few weeks ago, you might have not noticed that it indeed automatically enables Microsoft Update with no choice for opting out.

    The downside is that this potentially exposes all Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta users to a number of issues related to svchost.exe, which handles processes executed from DLLs, and caused by the service that provides Automatic Updates. The most common problem is CPU and memory hogging which manifests in a serious system slowdown. Just check the CPU column next to svchost.exe in your Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to see if you're affected. Simply ending this process will not fix the problem and will likely cause other important services to fail. There's a two-part fix which we've found here:

    1) Patch msi.dll: Users need to replace the msi.dll file (the Microsoft Installer DLL) that svchost.exe controls. To do this, download and install the patch from Knowledge Base article 927891.

    2) Update Windows Update: Users also need to get the latest Windows Update client, which is version 3.0. Links to the 32- and 64-bit versions can be found at the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Product Team blog.

    It's a bit inconsiderate of Microsoft to rely on Microsoft Update for updates to the popular Windows Live Messenger Beta prior to providing the patches that cope with performance problems. And even with the currently available patches installed, svchost.exe can still use up to 100% of CPU at times.
