* se pot adauga la status noi emoticon-uri
* mesajul de la status este impartit in doua categorii
* se pot juca din nou jocurile din versiunea 8 (checkers, pool, etc.)
* un nou format de notificare
* importarea listelor cu utilizatori din alte retele (Gmail, Orkut, Yahoo! Address Book, Hotmail, AOL) se poate face acum foarte simplu

Desi este inca stadiul beta, la versiunea 9 nu am intalnit pana in momentul de fata "bug-uri" (erori) care sa ma faca sa revin la mai vechea versiune 8. Prin urmare puteti face un update linistiti la aceasta versiune, iar pentru a nu pierde vechiile setari din versiunea 8, instalati noul messenger fara a-l dezinstala pe cel vechi.

Versiunea 9 este mult mai plăcută la interfaţă. Desi este inca stadiul beta, la versiunea 9 nu am intalnit pana in momentul de fata "bug-uri" (erori).
