Ok now that the new Plus is out, i'm really considering downloading WLM 9. The problem is i've heard alot of bad things about it, like the emote bug(did they fix that yet?) and some people say it just stops working after a while.

So is it stable enough to use? Should i download it or stick with 8.5 abit longer?

well, it's all pretty cool exept the emote bug and the window resize thing

I've had connection problem ever since i downloaded WLM 9, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting me, then stopping for like 3 hours, then doing it again for like 20 minutes

not to turn you off it, just giving you all the info

If you use skins, then I wouldn't switch over to it. It will still be a while before there will be stuff out for 9. 9 does have its connection issues, like if you sign in as appear offline sometimes when you switch to online the connection drops out.

But I mean its a beta so yeah that sort of stuff is expected anyway.

I like it alot. Much better than 8.5 imo.

Regarding skins, i think it looks very good already, i thought i wouldnt be able to take it without any skins, but ive been proven wrong
And plus if you were a fan of Windows Live Messenger 2009 by roflmao456 then you have no issues

As for the connection problems, i have had none so i cant really comment on that.
