The thing is that when you have MSN Messenger 7, when a contact signs in, do you notice the pop-up with the Display Picture? This is done by opening an invisible conversation with them.
So, when you sign in, and your friends use MSNM7, their program opens this conversation with you, to get your Display Picture.
It does not take the Display Picture at any other time. It won't trigger the openConvo at any other event (change nick, change DP, etc.). Only at sign-in (when they have MSNM7), and open/close window.
So this will happen even if you are using MSNM6.
Hope that helps.

Not exactly. It still does what it's supposed to do.
It also (as CookieRevised explained in another post) tells you in an indirect way who is using MSNM7 (because it'll open this hidden convo).
