This version of MSN Messenger looks like crap, totally. MSN Messenger 7 looks way better.

lol using the Beta Patch that you little ass dont know about ;)!!(MSNP13 Downgrader)

It's pritty good, i think it looks more to the feel of the new Windows Vista :D

I know about that proxy, but that little application will keep showing you an annoying advertisement in a little window. Also you have to start it before you sign in to Live Messenger, and it must be kept open.

Steve at Jan, 29 2006 - 17:09

Looks like Crap.
Again, Microsoft stealing ideas from other people, like in this case, it looks a bit like Yahoo Messenger.
And what the heck is 'Winks'?? YOur gonna virtually wink at people now? Its just stupid.

Indeed Shawn, there is a new version and you can see screenshots of it at http://www.geekpedia.com/software54_New-improved-Windows-Live-Messenger.html.

In my opinion, the new version looks much better.
