Localized Messenger websites

As it was for the old MSN Messenger website, is it possible to also
restore localized pages for actual Windows Live Messenger website?
Example. Actually if I type http://messenger.msn.com or
http://messenger.msn.it or http://messenger.msn.de, etc. I will display
http://get.live.com/messenger/overview in the language set in the
browser.
According to me http://messenger.msn.it should display the page into
Italian language, http://messenger.msn.de into German language, etc.
without changing the language in the browser.
Maybe it's better to also create http://messenger.live.it,
http://messenger.live.de, etc. websites in the future.

Happy New Year!

Best regards
D@ny

Greetings,

Unlike the previous Messenger site iterations, the latest MSN (Windows Live) implementation
is just to automatically detect what language, locale and operating system you're using and
display the appropriate content. The main site is primary for marketing which is why you
don't see any indication of what version you're downloading, anything technically complicated
or even a link to this newsgroup.

Just using the Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads) to grab the
specific version and language you want is far easier and less frustrating and gives you at
least basic info about what you're getting.
