O.P. Updating WLM to 14.....
Well, I have a skin and I kind of like that one, but it's incompatible with WLM 14. So, I'm asking you guys to give me 10 reasons* to update.

* or more

  1. Faster
  2. Animated DPs
  3. Scenes
  4. MPOP
  5. Groups
  6. Favourites
  7. Custom video dynamic display pictures (not sure what's the official name
  8. More beautiful (IMO)
  9. Clickable links in PSM
  10. Emails open in default browser (but this is buggy)


Ok. some things I've written are stupid, but I was trying to fill the list :P

I'd support every one of those that Mike said.....I've been on WLM 2009 ever since the compatible Plus! Beta came out and haven't looked back.

Progress is always better than staying stuck in the past :P

Well, as for Messenger, I've become "homesick" for 8.5 now already...

RE: Updating WLM to 14.....
lets critique that list.

1. great. but is it noticeably faster?
2. not important to me
3. I use a skin for a reason
4. huh?
5. wouldn't use it
6. wouldn't use it
7. not important to me
8. I use a skin for a reason
9. not important
10. a. stuffplug does this b. i don't use hotmail to open email from WLM anyway. c. Outlook works just fine

yes, I use 8.5. I'd still be using 7.x if it wasn't for plus scripting. Same reason why I still use XP. Why fix what isn't broken?

it's very easy to criticise, doesn't say much though, because if i someone was that way inclined they could critique your list with exactly the same outcome.

Multiple Points of Presence...the ability to sign into Messenger in multiple locations without being signed out

Why live in the past? ;)

Evidently things are broken otherwise they wouldn't put in all that time, effort and resources into a new version :P

Hell yeah!
Animated custom emoticons won't use 100% of your CPU now!
