Wow I really like how MSN Messenger looks like now...

EDIT: Using the new MSN and I am impressed... its real easy to use, looks great, has some really cool features and you can now skin it without any add-ons to it. One bad thing about it is that it does use more memory than the old one.

really, alot of messenger sites are complaining about the sounds being too quiet, the fact that the convo window colour is based on what theme your contact is using, the fact that custom emotes don't always show up, the fact that msn plus doesn't work with it. etc

OMG! RIBBON UI!!!

*faints*

Also, Will Messenger Plus Live work with the new WLM build?

Well you see I dont use themes or any of the sounds, they annoy me. The one thing I wish worked on it but I'm sure its going to come out soon is MSG PLus.

[~{/^OoMoO^\}~]

That's because your friend won't had been using the beta version.

[FalseAgent]

I installed photo gallery, movie maker, messenger, writer, and mail.

WAVE 3 IS AWESOME. OMG MICROSOFT WHY R TEYH SO GUD ALL OF A SUDDEN

[cillin]

Anyone familiar with the 8000FFFF error?
I keep getting it after numerous reinstalls and troubleshooting.
I'm desperate
The previous leaked beta works fine tho.

[BLueSS]

The new Live Mail completely SUCKS.

They removed icons from the buttons like "Reply", "Delete", and now they're just TEXT. And it's really hard to quickly glance and see if you're hitting the right one without stopping to read them.
