Booting into Vista I noticed an update was available, and no it wasn’t another security update.  It appears Microsoft is preparing the ability to update Windows Live Messenger through Windows update.  This WLM update doesn’t actually change anything in WLM, it does appear to test and prepare for future distribution.

The description of the update is: “This update is being used to test how Microsoft Updates are distributed for Windows Live Messenger. While there are no actual changes to Messenger at this time, it’s important for Messenger Beta testers to receive this update. Thanks for helping test Messenger!”
