LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted January 30, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2010 How many people still use the official Microsoft Client without any modifications? I personally do not even use it, I use Adium on my Mac and Pidgin on my PC Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/857214-windows-live-wave-4-milestone-2-some-screenshots-and-info/page/3/#findComment-592179602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, very nice comment :) Anyway, back on topic, im sure i can just adjust any stuff that i didnt like with themes / hacks from MessengerPlus once they release a version that works well and stable with me.

azz0r_wugg Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Maybe its because I switched to a mac at work, but my god, Windows live apps are hideous.

Calum Veteran Posted February 1, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 1, 2010 I must be the only person who actually likes the new Windows Live Messenger :p (or, at least what we've seen of it). I love the fact the Windows Live teams seem to be focussing more on the social updates and the only situation where the extra interface elements would be an annoyance to me would be if I had a lack of screen space; if that was the case, I'd just turn the extra panel off :) If the team are adding things which are options, I do not see why they should be complained about so much because some people will like them. I'm looking forward to trying out tabbed chats as well (Y) :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/857214-windows-live-wave-4-milestone-2-some-screenshots-and-info/page/3/#findComment-592185910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Jolt Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The ads and the huge bloated look is ugly. We need something beautiful, we can have updates and all, but it needs to be cleaner. Get rid of the ads, you are already rich enough. We need WPF implemented and 3D effects. That way we can have a UI that can fit in social updates, but this 2D bloated look won't work.

p5bdeluxe Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is fake. These screenshots have been posted already. One thing does look to be for sure: Bigger ad and Messenger taking up more space. A-Patch FTW.

LiquidSolstice Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Jesus. Christ. Thank god I don't use any first party chat clients. Trillian does everything I need cleanly in a smaller package that uses less RAM.

How is it so 2009? I think you'll find the Facebook membership is still growing in size. I love the new direction Windows Live is going in and the social updates which will be present in Windows Live Messenger 2010.

Solid Knight Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't see why they integrated social networking into the application. Nobody really uses that stuff except kids.

I also know many who will be happy to see all their social updates in one place, not to mention how much of a godsend Facebook chat support will be (seeing as the chat service on Facebook.com often does not function very well).
