Make Messenger 9.0 look like 8.5

Question

I've using messenger since 2000 when i replaced ICQ with it, past week my old nice 8.5 messenger forced me to "upgrade" to the 9.0 version. I don like the look of this new version and I would like to know how to roll back to my previous beloved 8.5 or at least be abble to make 9.0 look as the previous version...this may be a surprise for some people in marketing but most user don like to be force or get change the product they use!.

Any body???, theres a lot "solutions" on the web but i don't want to have "special" installs on my computer.

:( :'( :(

I hate it too.  I was forced to upgrade today as well.  The look and feel is terrible.  Bulky, bubbly,ect..   Its great if your 15 years old.  But for a business guy, it is the worst Microsoft, just terrible.  Im very upset.
