I will also point out that you agreed with that in the Microsoft’s Terms of Use. Naturally if you pressed I agree when you registered, else you couldn't register.
The terms I agreed with when I registered are not the terms they are using now. Hence:

Again you are talking about msn 2009. Keeps using it, if you have problems with the beta.
Using Messenger 2009 won't prevent people in any way from showing up with their full name to their contacts. (like people explained here before)
The terms are the same, if the terms change you get a new advice and you have to agree again. In them you agree to give some personal information and agree to show them through the network.
"Microsoft collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and services. etcetcetcetc"
You are talking about the future, I can't see in the future, keeps using msn 2009, if you won't like msn 2011 you will be able to decide to not use it.
Afaik they could even step back, but again Im no farseer.
Don't think I want to defend microsoft or something, i really don't care, just i don't see any issue in this whole thing.
