14 DAY TRIAL // UPDATE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8089.726 Automatic Upgrades Mandatory
An upgrade for the latest iteration of Microsoft’s instant messaging client is now available for download. The evolution of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) will take the application all the way to version 14.0.8089.726. The Redmond company has kept a tight lid on the development of the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) update, and at the time of this article it did not offer any details related to the availability of Build 14.0.8089.726. However, the direct download links are live, and users of the company’s IM client can go ahead and grab the latest release of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009).

Fact is that from the little information available it appears that the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8089.726 is similar to a previous upgrade Microsoft made available earlier this year. The gold version of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) RTW was offered to users in the first half of January 2009. At that time Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) RTW featured the following Build number: 14.0.8050.1202.
Just one month later, the Redmond company kicked Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) RTW 14.0.8050.1202 up a notch, with the introduction of 14.0.8064.0206, which was essentially a QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) release for the Windows Live “Wave 3” 2009 clients. Kay revealed that Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8089.726 was nothing more than the “second QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) release versions of the Windows Live “Wave 3” 2009 products.”
Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8089.726 is available for download as an MSI installation package. With 14.0.8089.726, Microsoft is introducing improvements for Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8064.0206, but so far there is no telling what the evolution of the instant messaging client has in store for end users. At this point in time, users of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) 14.0.8064.0206 are not prompted to upgrade to versions 14.0.8089.726.
