Microsoft has begun to grant beta testers access to Windows Live Messenger 9. While the application has changed little aesthetically, there are key functionality changes such as the ability to assign a custom logon sound for all of your contacts to hear when you sign on (known as a "Signature Sound"

and the ability to sign on with the same account in up to four locations. Obviously, these features need to be placed into the UI and we thought we'd give everyone who hasn't been given access to the Beta program a sneak peak of the goods.
