does this version require the stupid windows genuine advantage program installed in order to work?

No, you don't need WGA installed for it to work.

I have however noticed that it randomly reboots my machine when I'm talking to certain contacts. I'd test it further, but it's not worth getting bad sectors over

i actually uninstalled and installed wlm 3 times until i realised in the options the show "contact says..." was unchecked

I'm really not looking forward to testing this beta with Messenger Plus! Live.

That's what I was wondering, will they eventually start doing it so only users of Genuine Windows XP will be allowed to run it, as when my computer was bought, they didn't give me an official Windows XP, I couldn't afford a real Windows XP Pro, so I had to download it, and the key I used for it has been used about 10 times now, so it says it isn't real , but it is.

Just a quick note, I have tracked down the memory usage issue.  I dont even know how this is possible, but since ive done it my memory usage has been at 20MB for MSN with a contact window open.

I used NoRooms ListCleaner and removed all of the contacts that had deleted me from their list (there were about 80), all of the people I was allowing to see my status even though they werent on my list and I wasnt on theirs (omg, there was a lot, at least 160), and all the people im blocking that deleted me and I deleted them (about 60)....I then deleted all the Address Book Entries corresponding to these contacts...and Wallah, My Messenger Memory Usage is now down to 20MB with 1 chat window open...thats 60MB less than before I cleaned it.  Even if it is a matter of simply cleaning it, they obviously need to improve upon their skills, cause a lot of people with older accounts (like mine, from all the way back before I even started coming to this community) will have a ton of these dead entries and such.
