basically, people don't like change

they get used to something......and then moan when something new comes along that's slightly different......then in a couple of year's time they moan when something else new comes along because they want to stick with the thing they were moaning

You can use ZapMessenger for that. :)
You do not need ZapMessenger to simply uninstall Messenger!!

Go to Add/Remove Programs and run Windows Live Essentials. There you can select Windows Live Messenger (2009) to be uninstalled.

It is advisable when you are going to downgrade to a lower version.

No, it is advisable to follow to proper way!!!

Which is:
1) uninstall the current version
2) install the version you want...

To uninstall the current version, all you need to do is to follow the logic and proper way: use Add/Remove Programs...

ZapMessenger should only be used when you encounter problems uninstalling the current version (because of messing around with the installers and/or entries in Add/Remove programs).

Please don't teach people the wrong way. There are already enough problems caused by people who simply don't know the proper normal ways of doing things (Plus!' sponsor uninstallation to name one example).

It is good for people to know that there is a tool which will fix uninstalling problems, but that does not mean people shouldn't follow and be told to follow the proper way first.

Completely wrong!

ZapMessenger should only be used if the normal uninstall has failed and fragments of Messenger/WLSuite are left behind and are hindering other installs/uninstalls

It is not "my" way at all though, it is the proper normal and logic way to follow at first.

Only if that fails you can try to use 3rd party tools, knowing that you did try the proper official way first.



PS: I never had any problems using Add/Remove Programs to uninstall WLM 14 and install 8.5, even not after seriously messing around with installers and reg settings. (note that if you still had the old beta of WLM 14, you also need to remove it from Add/Remove Programs but this time choose "Windows Live Messenger" instead of "Windows Live Essentials").

Doesn't really matter. Your contacts that are using WLM9 won't see these statuses :P

Afaik, ZapMessenger will attempt a normal uninstallation of WLM first?
