Link WLM 2009 with XBL?

I just installed the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 and it doesn't appear to
have an Xbox Live tab like the 2008 version. Is this feature gone or am I
just not looking in the right place? Am I able to view my XBL friends list in
the new Live Messenger?

Greetings Dave,

You're not missing it, it's not there. I'm afraid the Xbox tab will need to be redone for
2009 and this hasn't been done yet.

Besides downgrading, the only other workaround is to view your list at http://www.xbox.com.

Hi Dave,

I'm hoping it returns soon, you're not the first to ask about it either.

Good. Because that was my favorite feature on Live Messenger.
