New Windows Live Messenger Skin

Is this skin different from the 8.1 version? looks the same to me. I would like/expect a Vista Aero type skin. (Infact im looking right now)

Doesnt look the same.
I DON'T like the Aero style for WLM.
That (Aero) is EXACTLY what it looks like now. It WASN'T like that on 8.1
I like 8.1 style

Thats funny cos my WLM looks very very similar, a slightly different colour and the minamize buttons are different (red)

ww.the-nova.co.uk/wlm.jpg theres mine with the Black/Dark Blue colour selected

Thats the difference we're talkin about accept you have yours set to a black theme so it doesnt look exactly the same. I think it looks kinda better but am not completely sure. And it might only look like this because it's the BETA release and they haven't finished adding all the final touches.
