Windows Live Messenger 2011

I like the graphical user interfaces of msn but I'm on a Mac now and it is actually soo bad - but now I don't mind it from the screenshot you've posted (op)! It looks dreadful. They're trying to make it a new social networking site and it's failing.

Such as


MSGPlusLive v5 will be released sometime next month, after which case it'll be greatly improved; but apart from the Webcam thing, I ain't seeing any issues atm. I think the way it sets your name makes it ALOT cleaner.. so people don't have names that doesn't really identify them..

Yeah that does look better but I prefer to maximise the window, sadly you can now only get that view when the window's quite small.

As you can see I use nicknaming to rename all my contacts to useful names anyway I look forward to MsgPlusLive but I suppose I'll have to put up with it till then.

That looks terrible, and i'm glad i've got the old version of msn. I think maybe you should consider downgrading back to the previous version...?

I was worried when I opened the box for my HP Mini, and it said "Windows Live applications pre-installed".

Luckily its still on 09, as all my systems will be until they force upgrade me. and then I'll consider Trillian or something.
