What is really so good in WLM by Nagamasa on 06-25-2006 at 07:22 PM
As (everyone) knows I use WLM, but I try to advirtise it to my friends (obviously along with MP!L cause I started the whole MP! name in my neighbourhood), but I am sorta out of features to make friends change!
Someone please help. I really hate seeing people using outdated stuff when they can get better stuff for free.

Offline Messages is one of the new features.

The only things that I can think of is the better (in my opinion) look of it and the sharing folders. And it (supposedly) has better logging-in and performance.
And also, the fact that you can use MSG Plus! Live with it....
Just tell them that cool people use WLM

Well it has a faster logging time that's sure 
and it has a better design, more customisable, has the offline messaging, sharing folders, call to phone for a cheap price and has few other random new features (search contact bar, windows live contacts, you can have notes when adding a contaft by typing their names, etc)

I’m not that popular. I’m probably closer to the unpopular end to the popular end.
Well anyways, most of the people around just talk and talk and talk and do nothing else. Are there any significant additions that can actually attract them? One of them said that there is no need for WLM, MSNM is good enough.
Anyhow, googolplex thanks from Nagamasa.

It's not easy to convert people to WLM. I have tried to do so with 3 close friends. These are the results:
- Upgraded without an issue. I told him about it and he was happy to accept it.
- Couldn't be bothered at first, eventually gave in only to find that he is not allowed to upgrade.
- Said that it wasn't worth it. Even suspected that it was unreliable. Eventually gave in and installed WLM and Plus! Live (since he has been a plus user for quite a while).
[/list]
This is evidence of things not being as easy as they seem.
One more person asked me about the software. I said it was a good idea but she wasn't confident enough to make such a change (it really seems like a daunting change, people would have been much less hesitant to upgrade to a "MSN Messenger 8").
