I don't want to run the risk of having my contacts to be seen by someone else.

Then you must set your privacy settings correctly for your friend list, etc.

Sure it can be set.

Go to your Windows Live Profile and go to your privacy settings and check out _all_ the settings, including the more 'advanced' ones.

The same goes for your Spaces settings.
And as said, you can even make your Spaces completely private too.

As for photos, those are stored in your 'SkyDrive', again linked to your Windows Live Account. And here too you have the ability to set permissions to photos and even complete albums if you whish....

So, miss the old days when MSN was only MSN.

Maybe there could be another product that doesnt have this association, or is it server-side this association ?

Thanks !

Even in the old days, your Spaces page was connected to your Windows Live Profile (though it was then called .NET Passport). In that regards nothing has changed! In fact, except for your real name, you have now far more control in what people will see or not.

Everything with 'Windows Live' in its name is connected to eachother in one way or the other.
Hence it is called a Windows Live Account which drives everything. And you use that account to connect to and control Messenger, SkyDrive, Hotmail, Spaces, and any other existing Windows Live Service...
