Neowin has taken an early look at Microsofts next MSN client, MSN 9. Including with MSN 9 Beta are the following:

MSN Messenger 6.1

MSN Explorer 9

Photo Mail & Photo Show

MSN Encarta Plus!

Enchanced Email

Picture It! Express

Picture It! Library

It seems the beta will be launching very soon. The installer for MSN 9 Beta downloads the components from the web. The UI for MSN 9 Explorer is standard, same as MSN 8/8.5. Changes are mainly to do with Outlook connector and Email settings. MSN Messenger 6.1 has also been added to the client. MSN Messenger 6.1 boosts new customizing features like no menu bar and colour changing. Check out the screenshots below, more screenshots/information to follow.
