Do you mean that if I upgrade WLM from build14 to build 15, that all the custom nicknames I assigned to each contact will be lost and will have to be rebuilt manually again? Thanks
No, Dragunov confuses display names with nicknames.
(Hence why it is always important to use the proper namings of things)
What he means is that your own 'display name', the name you have set for yourself, will be reverted to your real name, the name you have set in your online Windows Live Profile. So instead of seeing "
alegator", your contacts, and strangers!, will now see your real name (unless they have set a custom nickname for you - but even that does not prevent them from knowing and seeing your real name).

Taking away display names is HORRIBLE.
