Vista - hate messenger 2009 :'(

I just like to say how disappointed I am about the foced upgrade from
windows live messenger 8. to messenger 9, in my opinion messenger 8 was soo
perfect and simple just the way I like it but version 9 is just an annoying
messy thing (in my opinion) and I do hope that they soon bring out a new
version thats very similiar to or even better exactly the same as messenger 8
for those version 8.0 lovers out there . >.< messenger 9 sucks! :'(

I agree and Live Mail 2009 is even worse!!!

I prefer having messenger 8. That was perfect. I did not apperciate the
forced upgrade.

But I can adapt.


I would like to complain about the new schemes though. It's stupid to see
the other person's scheme in a conversation box. I much rather see my own
scheme then theirs. Please change this immeidently. It's annoying as hell.
And get rid of the colors around the display picture, they clash with my
icon.

Greetings,

Well the thing about Messenger is that the next version will be different from 2009, one way
or another.

So you don't have to put up with it for too long I expect

Which version of 8 (8.1/8.5) were you using and which Windows version? There are
possibilities of using older versions in some cases.

Well, if you know any please tell. I had 8.5 here (1302.1018) working
perfectly on a Windows XP Home SP3 machine. And some time ago with tips from
you got it to work perfectly. But as of this moring I am also forced to
upgrade to the worst version ever, that 2009 version. I will wait though if
there is another solution cause I will not use that hooor thing 2009 (yes,
I've tried it before ;-) )

Hi Menno,

Yeah I was wrong, it looks like they were in the process of forcing the upgrade yesterday and
today it was fully implemented.
