I was pissed off at the lack of handwriting, but then realized that they removed it for good reason. Simply put, the handwriting sucked anyway. There are much better software tools out there for drawing things. Even MS Paint is better. So now I just draw something, hit copy, and paste into MSN--works like a charm, especially with the vastly improved image sharing UI. It costs a few extra clicks, but you get more capability.

Only problem with it, is cause I have windows 7. So when I click on the icon, and have multiple tabs open in chat, it acts as if each of those tabs are separate windows. Just wish it was 1 window.
Also, I just want a small friend's list bar on the side, not all this crap to the left of it that I don't use anyways.

Now... How to fix the tab window thing > .<

Dunno, I like the way it works with tabs. But you can try setting it to Windows Vista compatibility mode. I heard it makes it behave more like the older MSN, never tried.

THey made two steps forward then one backward again. It used to open every chat a new window. So the tab thing was awesome. But then THIS >.>

If it's logging off/restarting that fixes it, then there may be some service that froze and needs to be restarted.

It's happened to crash me if I have it and Skype open too.
So I have avoided using it and have decided Meebo does the job just fine.

Frankly, I prefer universal messaging clients like Pidgin or Trillian. Much easier to deal with cross messenger contacts while using only one universal IM service and not have like 4 different ones open
:smoke:

I use Pidgin and it's connected to like 5 accounts atm. But it's only good for basic IM uses, so I use it for mostly professional purposes and keeping up with various communities. WLM is great for picture sharing, webcam, etc.

If you dont want it on your taskbar all the time, just change it to windows xp compatability
Edit: On a side note since theres already a thread up. Ever since i upgraded to the new msn. I cant do webcam chats anymore cause the video lags so hard. on skype and everywhere else tho its find but it can really be annoying tho.
