Windows Live Messenger beta

Windows Live Messenger - Beta

I've blogged before about my love for Trillian.  However, there were times when it was less than responsive and after a while it started to really bug me.  After I heard that MSN Messenger 7.0 had added message history I had to give it another try.  I've been back on MSN Messenger ever since and I've just had to live without my other favorite features.

The hardest one for me to live without was having the ability to rename a contact.  I just dealt with it the best I could and moved on.  Well, yesterday I finally installed Windows Live Messenger beta and it has a feature called "nickname".  Hrm...what is this for?  Yep, it lets you add a nickname to a contact but more that; the nickname is what's displayed in your contact list.  I'm a happy camper again.

Giddy Up!

Kevin,

Thanks for all of the hard work.  It is appreciated.  Having a window "container" for all message windows to stay in would be awesome too.  Wink
