Windows Live Mail hits the next milestone

As we were expected, Windows Live Mail was upgraded to M9 (Milestone 9) last night. Some changes include:
Much faster loading and advanced Firefox compatibiity (works fully in Firefox 2)
The Classic Mode will be the default view from Hotmail users - brand new users won’t be taken to the fully AJAX’d page but to the Classic interface for “ease-of-use” purposes.
A new Today page rolls out, including what would be on your Today page in Windows Live Messenger.
Recent Updates now added as a tabbed page on the Today page allowing you to switch to what’s changed (blogs, contacts and newsletters etc.)
Search bar at the top of the page updated and tweaked slightly for the other themes.
New icons added to the right click menus, and generally the right click menus have been added and updated.
In Classic view, the top menu bar with “New, Reply, Forward and Delete” have been added to the bottom of each message for ease-of-use for longer messages.
Check the new interface here at Windows Live Mail .
