Denis W. Veteran Posted June 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2006 So they're sticking with that fugly interface that doesn't fit in with any version of Windows whatsoever? MSN/Windows Live Messenger hasn't resembled any version of Windows since 5.0. At least they've dumbed down on the clutter in the conversation windows (though that carousel or whatever in the main window is just useless IMO).

Sean B. Veteran Posted June 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2006 I don't think it's going to be released then, or I should say I don't think that they'll be releasing a build with Yahoo interoperability. If you go to the messengersays blog, you'll see that alot more testing has to be done on the interoperability before it's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean B. Veteran Posted June 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2006 I htink they will keep the same UI as in the last beta version Indeed it'll be the same UI as the current 689_branches build. Im still missing an feature. On the old 7.x you could see everyone's DP in your contact window. But its gone! Snif You can, in the contact list you can click the green double sided arrows and choose show details. w00t, 8 more days till MSN Plus! :D It's Messenger Plus! Live and I doubt Patchou will release it on the same exact day WLM is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew S. Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Good :D I've been looking forward for the Yahoo-MSN integration, Can't wait to talk to my MSN friends on Yahoo Messenger :D They're adding the Yahoo! Messenger interoperability into Windows Live Messenger for you to keep in touch with your Yahoo! Messenger friends via Windows Live Messenger, I don't know if Yahoo! is planning on adding the interoperability to add support for you to keep in touch with your Windows Live Messenger contacts via Yahoo! Messenger or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
