Additional Comments
This version cannot login with any wine 1.2 series (rc1,rc2,rc3,rc4,rc5,rc6,rc7), just install, and run the initial screen. The terminal output show errors. If you init session with Msn 7.5 in the same prefix, Wlm 8.5 remember the image display (in the initial screen) of msn 7.5.
