I don't know what compact view you're looking at, but this is it:



Exactly the same as before!  Perhaps try the contact list layout options if yours doesn't look right?

And having to mouse-over won't be a problem once everyone is using it and has their real name rather than a long display name

Your name on it will be whatever your name is set to in your Windows Live Profile (it may take a moment or two to update).  If you want to change it, then change your name in there.

Just isn't the way I've liked using MSN.

I'm annoyed with these 'social integrations' going into everything, not that I'm anti-social, just some privacy issues amongst other things.

I'm also someone who frequently changes my screen name depending on what I'm doing, also it's easier to read / more noticeable than a PM.
