You all have to be joking, msn 7.5 is a peice of S H I T

so much damn bloat and useless features! plus the sign in window is ugly now too :/

I think many people will disagree with that...
Although i agree with you...

From what I can see, the only problem with the changes is the Add Contact bar being moved, also the fact that if you stretch the Contact Window, then a link on the sign in page is moved and looks ugly. However, it looks all good to me [I have used it, my Grandfather's neighbour has it, as he is an Official Microsoft Beta Tester ].

I like the new sign in interface and most of the things. The voiceclip thing is convenient. What I dislike is how they moved the add a contact thing up there. They also added a "Get a webcam" link under my DP. Those are the two main dislikes. :/ The new video button looks ok, but seems worse than the old one. I also want the webcam button at the right side of my contact's name, not under my contact's DP. They kinda made the DP frame larger and more ugly.

i have seen that 'get a webcam' link under my DP every time i start a webcam thingo, i thought it'd always bin there... i still get it and im not using the new BETA

I really like the 7.5 version. Even though nothing has really changed, I still like it way more for some reason.
Definitely works better, seems to use wayyy less system resources, and I like how the "Add Contact" button is at the top. Normally when it was at the bottom I always removed it.
The Voice feature is neat but I doubt I'd use it much, but oh well, it's not like it adds any bloat.
Anyways, great improvement over verion 7.0, and I definitely haven't found it to be buggy, but then again, why should it be, it's not like anything has changed magorly from 7.0, so it really shouldn't be buggy.

thats true . now dynamic backgrounds , nothing more annoying than seeing flying crap in a chat window .. i never use them in yahoo so i wont use them in msn, but hey kiddies will like it, i wont

I don't wanna get offensive, but you can't create a program perfect suited for everyone.
Unneccesary things will always remain...
And btw, i got 7.5 working, and it look pretty good i think, much 3D-kinda things. Not as 2D shitty as Trillian.
The voice feature works with my Wave-output thing too, so ppl can listnen with me (for a couple of seconds). Very useful since u can't sing with ur keyboard if u wanna get someone remembering the melody a song .
And the MsgPlus! feature version of it, there's waaay too much sounds to ever find it back, u can't realy find something back.

Another great thing is the fact than the size of the input-textfield now is independed to the size of your own DP.
