Windows Live Messenger 2009 made me puke.

[Jin]

Sitting at work, crying as I have lost my phone when I get prompted to install a new version of WLM. I was hoping it was a bug fix as I have had a few bugs in 2008 such as the lag of switching to handwrite from text.

But after installing it, I realised that this was a new version entirely, this was the messenger 2009 version and when it started it made me actually throw up a little in my mouth (although that could be the result of the 6 scotch's last night when drowning my sorrows of losing my phone).

Here check it out for yourself,

I didn't stick around with it for long so I can tell you what the changes are exactly, I did notice it only has 4 types of statuses now.

Availible
Unavailible
Away
Appear offline

Or something like that,

I literally installed it, puked, ranted, uninstalled and installed 2008 again.

Yeah it is sick, my sister is stuck with it because I uninstalled her WLM 8.5. >: )

They've tried to integrate a Web 2.0 style into a program which really shouldn't... just no.

Be honest now, you wanted sympathy because of the whole scotch fiasco

I've had 09 for ages. I quite like it The only thing I disagree on is the "Groups" bit, which cannot be removed, which sucks :/

The web 2.0 thing really was not needed for this client, and what was the need to switch the DP from the right to the left. Its sort of like when you switch from a windows to a mac and try to minimise or close the program down.

its nice once you get it to how you want it.
the status thing is stupid and the webcam settings have become limited.

That was an odd change indeed, why they decided to change the sides of the display pictures is unknown. The statuses is an ok update, no-one really used "Out to Lunch" and most people would of put "Away" anyway
