  the Next Question is.. will you or us users be forced into using MSN Explorer with MSN Messenger 7,  looking at Pics on Neowin.net an other pics, i dunno what to believe anymore

Well definatly contact management in MSN Exp now also edits the contact managment of MSN Messenger 7, they are comming closer together..... however they are not merging by anymeans at the moment from the look of it.... just been cross compatable.... but this is microsoft, anything can happen.

I can't believe it, the time i was going to see a screenshot of msn messenger 7, they were removed by the request of microsoft, thats the most annoying thing in the world, so anyone got them saved to your pc? So I can see the pictures???

It sounds great...

crap, that sucks. i saw them (but didnt save them) and personally i dont think you missed much. the only thing i liked is the DP in the online popups (which trillian has already anyway so it's nothing new to me)

Anyone who needs them drop me an email to

reisyboy@gmail.com

wanna see the pictures too..

Looks nice but did we need a buzz/huge animated things apear on the screen feature? I hope that somebody figures how to remove them from our bar because it looks kind of too crowded.

Im sure Patchou may make a plus feature to disable it, like the advert banner.... or someone will make a patch.

Talking about crashing MSN - do you think it's possible these pictures with virus' encoded into them will pose as a threat (say if they are used as display pictures or custom emoticons)? If so, a person could infect your computer just by you opening a contact window with them!

I doubt it because as we all know (from researching the ani-dp topic) MSN strip out any extra chunks in a PNG transfered like comments etc.... so i would think any virus code would first have to break the way MSN strips it down and then be sent..... although it is probably possible i doubt its been done at the moment.... and even if it did happen it wouldnt be long before MS released a patch... you would just disable CE a DP till its out
