Windows Live Messenger Beta
The smileys are just horrific :sick:
It doesn't remember my username, only in combination with password.
And only displays the real names of people in the contacts list...
It does seem they've built it ground up; it's much more stable in Win7, so I might forgive for the last two points at this stage...
Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta
Wow, why are you still running the beta? I've been using the Live Messenger RTM for a year now, it's not the greatest messenger, but I like it much more than Yahoo Messenger.

Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta
Ah, I get it, it's a new messenger altogether with the same name as their current messenger.
Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta
Its absolutely terrible IMO!
Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta
I've noticed it's out of BETA.
And it still doesn't remember my email address and still has the horrific smileys.
I'm officially looking for a new IM client.
Suggestions?
Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta

Trillian http://www.trillian.im/learn/tour-trillian5.html can handle almost any IM protocol and there's no crap.

Found a very nice and lightweight client: Emesene
Re: Windows Live Messenger Beta
If you just want MSN, then emesene is brilliant. Another contender is aMSN, but it does look really fugly on certain Linux distros, and I think even windows due to lack of anti-aliasing.
However, if you want an all-in-one, I'd seriously recommend Pidgin. It's super lightweight, and supports tons of IM protocols.

Anyone who uses WLM deserves a crappy experience...
Carrier pigeon ftw!
