MSN Spaces
MSN are planning to create "Group Spaces", although like the recently launched Blogging service these will allow you to create a place to share ideas, to do lists, notes, calendars, etc. with your family and friends. On the IM side of things, Messenger is likely to integrate by allowing people to create a group of friends, with the possible addition of "Circles" in MSN Messenger. Although in very early stages of development it's likely "Circles" will integrate fully with MSN Group Spaces.
MSN Hotmail
Although there are little details on how the new wave will effect Hotmail, it's likely that the tight integration of MSN Group Spaces will change Hotmails currently contact features. MSN have thrown out a concept of the future of Hotmail and you can view that below.
