WLM don't update server for contacts' display names
Here you must know that WLM and old MSN Messenger versions are working in a different way. When people use WLM, their contacts' last display names aren't stored at Messenger servers because WLM doesn't do it. WLM shows the last "seen" display names of contacts only on a specific computer. For example when you sign-in on another computer, on a WLM (well, it may be MSN Messenger though), then your contacts display names are called back from Messenger servers. So you see them as the latest updated display name information on the server. For example, if you have started using Messenger with WLM version and you never used MSN Messenger and only you've added your contacts to your contact list, no one else added you to their own contact lists, then even if you see their custom display names here, if you go and sign-in on another computer you will see only addresses there. If you want to update contacts' names on the server, you must use MSN Messenger (7.5 for instance) for some weeks or months But I don't think it is very important to see contacts' latest display names when they are offline. Is it clear?
