Are WLM 14 users being forced to update?

This crap popped up on my screen today

Is this rolling out for all V14 users? I have no intrest in the V15 version as I tried it out and the Facebook stuff doesnt even work....

I believe that if you set the app compatible in "msnmsgr.exe" with Windows 2000 you'll still be able to use WLM v14 on Windows 7 etc.

I believe you should be able to keep using the latest version of 14, that's the last one supported for Windows XP and you could happily run that on Windows 7 too.

Thanks :) I was running it in Vista compatility mode since it was the highest version before Windows 7.

Also works in Windows XP SP3 mode.

Why would liking Metro imply that he must like everything that's new?

I don't know about him but I tend to like whatever is best suited to my needs regardless of whether it's newer, it doesn't seem that far fetched to me that he could consider Metro a great UI design without feeling that WLM 15 is a great improvement.

My guess is it's less about being frightened of WLM 15 because it's new as it is not needing WLM 15's new features while desiring features it removed.

I dunno about updating, but, WLM sucks. It used to be good when people used it like 10 years ago.. now I think I have 3 people online at the most.. and none of them ever talk lol
