I am going to agree with Cookie. For example, I know of at least 1 site that confirmed that animated display pictures were going to be included in MSN 6.2, to the point that they gave instructions on how to do it. Now that this has turned out to be false, we got a thread on here complaining that Messenger has taken a step backwards. Er... to be honest, it hasn't taken a step anywhere to begin with!!
And it always gets me that people complain so much about something that is provided for free, even tho it is not free to develop/maintain. Folks - Messenger is free, lets not all complain when something that is rumoured to be included isn't included just because you thought the rumour was true.
