RE: Messenger Plus! Live is PUBLIC!
After downloading and testing it out for about 1 hour, I have to say that this new version is awesome! Despite the radical changes, many of which I don't enjoy and prefer the old way, it is still a big improvement overall.

Changes I do not like:

1. BB Code for formatting
Yeah, it is cleaner and more logical. Still, it takes more space and now there is no colour dialogue when I click Ctrl+K. There is the formatting button though, so this is not that bad, but I wonder if older versions will be able to view the formatting...

2. Preferences categorize different features in a new way
Although I like the new categories, which is not messy like the old one now, it is hard for me to find what I'm looking for. For example, I would think Sound would be in conversation and polygamy in customize, etc. The preference is a lot cleaner though, although it does take more space.

3. No emoticon window!
=O I thought this would be the easiest to implement.... Well, it is something that I used most often in Plus!, I am sure this is for other users as well. It will be back in the next build, so that's ok... (It should be in every build though. =P)

4. Ctrl+Up Ctrl+Down instead of PageUp PageDown
I am just simply used to the old shortcuts and it would take me a while to change... >.> Why not an option to select the shortcut?

5. Plugins are now out...
Stuffplug and Screenshot sender are what I love and I wonder if Scripts can fully replace these... They do not seem to be able to, in my opinion. There are plugins in the up coming builds of WLM though...

There are a lot more that I like though:

1. Old features that are similar to each other are combined!
Boss Protection and Messenger Lock always made me thought they should be combined to a feature, as well as Filter and Quick text, and so on. Now, they are combined! This seems a lot more logical now, but what about turning messages received to another message? My friend would die because he hates abbreviation like lol and turned them to haha instead. (Weird person, I know...)

2. Features become more advanced
Floating contacts get more choice of colors. Notifications get more choice too, as well as other features. I am loving these new options. =D This wins me a lot of points

3. New formatting button in conversation windows
I thought that this would be cool when using 3.6 and now it is added. =D

4. Logging can now be in XML.
This is completely awesome! Now, I can see handwrites and emoticons!
