Early in the morning, I opened GTalk and saw a message titled "Invitation to the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta". It turned out to be an invitation from Microsoft to experience the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta.
After skimming through the email, I logged into the Microsoft Connect platform and entered the invitation code as required. However, I didn't immediately get the rumored Beta version. Instead, I had to fill out a full English survey to further confirm whether I was eligible to experience the Beta version.
