Microsoft has now started the Beta testing the next sub-version 7.5 of their popular instant messaging client, MSN Messenger. All those who were recently received an invitation to join the Beta testing program should already have access to the latest Beta which is currently at build 160.

The latest Beta includes several new and improved features such as Dynamic Backgrounds, Connection trouble shooter and a feature similar to MsgPlus' popular Custom Sounds - Voice Clip. The login screen now has a redesigned Interface which sports the display picture.

Microsoft released the beta via Connect, a new portal which allows Microsoft and participating members to collaborate on future products from the company. Connect makes it easy to submit documented bugs and solutions for problems, and is constantly monitored by the developers at Redmond.
