To me it looks that the Nick Name is a Messenger Live feature, and like you say follows you from computer to computer.

The Nickname (notice no space) seems to be a Live Plus! feature.  I am also using Desktop Contacts and originally they had the Messenger Live name (not the Nick Name).

So I right clicked on the Desktop Contact and clicked "Set Nickname..." and entered the name I wanted shown.

This is why I think that the Live Plus "Nickname" should be able to be displayed on the Tabbed Chats.

Don't get me wrong.  I absolutely love this Live Plus!  This will just round it out that little bit.

I am also hanging out for the new Screen Scot Sender script, that will be awesome too!
