With the latest version of Windows Live Messenger finally out this month, the team has already started to focus on the next version (one which will hopefully have tabs). But first, the Windows Live Hotmail team is making sure that POP3 isn't the only feature it will roll out to its users this year.
Hotmail has been poised to get a web version of Messenger integrated (much like Windows Live Calendar is) into to its interface ever since the first news of the Wave 3 revisions broke. The team has promised that this would happen in the beginning of 2009, and now we've got screenshots to back that claim up.
