Hope they fixed the custom emoticon bug. Great news always love to try the messenger betas.

+1, also hope they fix the default colour on all conversation windows.

Webcam bug?

#3.2 cJr. on 05 Dec 2008 - 01:33

The one where the window doesn't go back to the size it was when you exit the webcam session? That annoys me so much! lol.

They should but it's very unlikely.

I really hope Microsoft finally fixes the group convo feature of Messenger, where when someone invites you, it just adds you in without even asking you first, and everyone can see your MSN address. It's very annoying.

Oh well, I just made the jump to Digsby last night, after years of being a MSN/WLM beta whore.

I don't see why? The new Windows Live Messenger is amazing!

Check it out and you'll see.

#7.3 :: Lyon :: on 05 Dec 2008 - 05:12

I'll be going to Digsby, if not because of the custom emoticons (yes, my friends and I use custom emoticons heavily during conversations)

#7.4 hotdog963al on 06 Dec 2008 - 13:06

Digsby eh... have you tried Miranda IM?

#8 rm20010 on 05 Dec 2008 - 05:35

Will the Messenger RC feature overlay taskbar icons for Windows 7?

#9 tgarte on 05 Dec 2008 - 22:41

Finally!
The new features will become a standard

#10 hotdog963al on 06 Dec 2008 - 13:05

Am I the only one who thinks the UI on that demo looks very messy (not just messenger, but the all the windows, as a whole). Microsoft need to hire some new UI designers.
