Darren Huston, Corporate Vice President of Consumer and Online International at Microsoft, is visiting Europe this week and he has revealed at an Amsterdam event that the updated Windows Live Essentials (previously known as Windows Live Installer) will be released next week. This was reported by Neowin earlier today (thanks to riahc3 for the heads up!).

Updated Windows Live Messenger 2009 iconThe Windows Live Messenger update deals with almost 200 bugs that were reported during the beta period, including that very annoying custom emoticon bug. We'll X-ray the client for changes as soon as we get our hands on it. One thing's for sure: it'll have a brand new icon (pictured to the right).

The first of many Christmas-related Theme Packs, here's one compiled by the Australian folks at Meego. For people living in the Northern Hemisphere like me, this pack (which includes an image of people barbecuing outside in a tank top and Hawaiian shirt) might come across kind of weird. But there are enough reindeer hats inside to confirm it is really a Christmas pack.

1 x Season's Greetings wink
1 x Season's Greetings conversation window background
2 x Season's Greetings display pictures (male/female)
15 x animated Season's Greetings emoticons
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Run the downloaded executable.
2) Click Next.
3) Uncheck both "Use Live Search..." and "Make ninemsn..." options to avoid messing with your browser settings.
4) Click I agree and the custom content will automatically be installed into Windows Live Messenger.

Today over 32 million people are living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.

Today, December 1st 2008, is the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day and like every year Mess.be takes the opportunity to raise awareness about the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV. Here are a few of our suggestions on what you can do to help:
