Did you notice this weird white square box which sits under some of your friend’s display picture?

You might have realised these:
- It’s not present in all conversation windows, just with certain contacts. not all.
- It appears in Windows Live Messenger 8.5 and 8.1.
- UPDATE: In Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta, it’s not a box but the Office icon (screenshot).

It doesn’t do anything when clicked, there are no options, and it just sits there next to the webcam and option buttons.

At first, i thought it was a bug of MSN Plus! or StuffPlug that i have installed on MSN, but after goggling and looking into some sites, i got theses few conclusions, that is not a bug of the 2 plugins install.

So, what could it be? A new feature? A secondary DP? Is it a new advertising space? A webcam preview? A status icon or display picture? Is it just a bug?

Let’s just wait and see how Microsoft/MSN explains this.
