The recently concluded MIX10 event didn’t bring any good news or beta releases for Windows Live Wave 4 fans. Windows Live Essentials Wave 4 build has been leaked onto the Internet. The downside to this Beta is that it is only available for Beta testers. However some smart fellow has been kind enough to post a patch for it that will allow you to use Windows Live Messenger aka Windows Live Messenger 2010.

The leaked Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 doesn’t bring the whole set of features as rumored or disclosed by personnel close to the Windows Live team. But what is there for everyone to see is the different views of the Messenger namely Social and expanded contacts. As one would expect this is not the final build, so more features such as Facebook Chat, Tabbed Conversation are likely to make their way to your favorite IM client.
