Installing latest Windows Live Messenger

Hi there, hoping someone can help me with this as I hesitate to instal the
latest Windows Live Messenger after the last miserable failure of 8.0 on my
PC. I really do want to have the latest msngr, it looks good but then so did
the last one till I tried to use it. I ended up going back to MSN Msngr 7.5
which I still have. My Q is, do I have to uninstall MSN 7.5 before
installing the latest Windows Live Msngr? Is there anything else I should
know before installing it? I had hoped there would be a Q & A section on the
Windows Live page but, alas, no! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Greetings,

No you don't, it's a direct upgrade. You can always switch back again if it doesn't meet
your qualifications.
