New build: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0812.00
Less than two months after the final release of Windows Live Messenger, a new build was released last night. No word on any changes in Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0812.00 from the previous version, but I'm looking into it.

Addendum
Serious improvements to the quality of audio and video
Fewer messenger crashes, hangs, and connectivity issues.
Fix for "error 80004005"
“Before I got this error, I had just changed my friendly name to something REALLY long w/ emoticons.”
That was the key! In messenger, there is a max length for friendly names. When you sign-in it checks to make sure your friendly name is under this max. But it was calculating the length in two different ways:
Below is from the Messenger Blog
"Say limit is 6 characters per friendly name. Messenger would let me type “LeahJ” no problem, because it was counting the whole emoticon as one character, and thus my friendly name was 5 characters total. But the next time I tried to sign-in, Messenger would do a check which would count each character of the emoticon separately and thus “Leah:-)” added up to 7 characters, which is over the max limit of 6. Error."
