like at everyone crying like little babies about the color of there UI.. Many of yeahs don't know this but windows live messenger 8.0 changes it color automatic to what kind of windows theme u got installed..

I got a very nice light greyish color for my UI and i love it.. An i hope it doesn't change.

u can just change ur default msn msger color. :p so stop all of ur bitching.

oh one more thing... Look at all of the paste msn msger UI"s it was all very damm blowed with to much crap on it and it wasn't nice looking at all.. But this UI isn't blowed like every other damm release of msn msger.

Ok just want you guys to share your opinion, maybe someone of the MSN staff will read this:

Wouldn't it be nicer if the info "<nick> says:" only appeared AFTER the other user replied, instead of appearing in each and every new paragraph?

It would make for a less visually bloated conversation. I think it would be a lot nicer.

:yes:

Another thing: they should improve in some way the presentation of file sending, the way it is you keep losing visual contact with the progress bar, and have to scroll up all the time. Maybe put the progress bars below the DP thumbnail, off the chat area?

Again, I agree.

It takes too long to sign in. It looks as ugly as my face. So yeah, happily back on v7.5 with APatch. And I'm sure Ahmad is working on a new version which may make it worth temporarily testing this awful version but he's offline at the moment so just wait.

Ewww, it's ugly :x

Why can't it retain the old better interface? :/

Because, if you haven't realised this already, Microsoft are trying to target 13 year old pregnant girls who like The Backstreet Boys with Winks and Nudges. Microsoft are just completely clueless to what users actually want from an IM client...to be able to IM people using a minimalistic UI.

Hah, nicely put.

It's depressing that they cannot make it look vaguely professional. Like many others, I thought the previous design was ugly and I hoped this would kick Microsoft into action to improve the UI. But this build has just proved to me that this obviously won't happen.

Maybe Microsoft could make a smaller, minimalistic version of Live Messenger, without all the extra stuff and a nice, simple interface. They can call it Windows Live Messenger Professional.

Isn't that the Live Communications version? Or maybe Windows Messenger. Ha ha.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
