The new BETA has been launched, and well... MSN looks different and is a lot smoother aswell. I recommend you download it at:

Taking ages to install.

Yeah. I've removed MSN, too much change. Going to install it on laptop though. Got to admit though, the chat is a lot smoother!

I actually really dislike it. You can't set nicknames anymore? I don't want my full name, it's kinda formal... :x. Also the big window showing news and stuff is horrible .

Wow the new emotes are ugly :'(.

[internetz]

You can change it to the old mode-ish. I know, they have removed a lot of good stuff

[Dasaii]

Yeah I know you can, just expressing my dislike for it .

[Kai]

Can't remove showing offline contacts either =/

There is an option to have offline contacts as a separate group .

Anyway uninstalled, back to the current version .

Iv not downloaded it yet but from looking at the screenshots etc it seems that microsoft are trying to take on social networks.
With MSN of all products...

Yea, so I tried it.. and.. couldn't remove it. Very buggy

I wasn't able to message anyone, as none of my messages were going through. When I tried uninstalling, the uninstaller wouldn't work. Ended up having to use system restore just to get rid of it

Microsoft has really let me down this time
