Using Firefox 1.5.0.4 to open http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

Hi,

The 15.3MB version contains the Rhapsody runtimes whereas the 14.5MB does not.

A lot of people have seen discrepancies with the new/old sounds. In the
final build (787), some people had the newer ones, some had the older
ones. Doesn't mean the package is any different.
