O.P. i won't be upgrading
The WLM team announced that they will force the latest version of WLM 2009 up your ass if you are still using versions 8.1, 8.5 or 14.0 (http://messengersays.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5B4...30829E!82557.entry)

So I gave WLM 2009 a try after sticking with 8.5 for years and am surprised at how this program is exactly as ugly as I expected it to be. I couldn't use it for a minute without immediately trying to bend it into shape with one of several 'patch-like' skins. And still it looks ugly.
IMO the design is bloated and unstructured. Why is it that with every iteration of WLM, the design has to be fancier and more cluttered than before?
There are reasons why people still stick to older versions of MSN/WLM, and this is one of them.

I guess I'll have to give it a try after all but I am not amused and will look for alternatives (or make my own skin).
