A select group of testers next week will get an early look at MSN Messenger 7.0, the next version of Microsoft 's popular instant messaging client. The software will be made available to selected testers in the U.S., U.K., France, Spain, the Netherlands and South Korea in what Microsoft calls a "limited beta" test. Then, probably before the end of the year, a public beta version will be released, said Brooke Richardson, lead product manager for MSN at Microsoft. MSN Messenger 7.0 will offer users a more personalized messaging experience, Richardson said.
