There's a good reason for that.
MSN7 puts DPs in toasts, and to get those DPs, effectively starts a conversation and closes it once the DP is downloading.
Now, extrapolate this to, say, 30 contacts, and you sign in. There's a very real chance of drowning in toasts, as anywhere between 0 and 30 'conversations' are started.

Then again, TB's probably working on a solution...
