That said, if the new Messenger is using anything like WPF or DXVA video acceleration it could in principle exacerbate video driver instability.
i didnt just dream this kernel crash. it happend
That was not my implication. Messenger using 100 MB or so is not going to provoke a kernel crash.
Even Messenger leaking memory will not cause kernel crashes--if the system runs out of memory, Messenger will simply crash, as the OS will stop permitting it to allocate any more memory.
That said, it does look like Messenger is leaking memory. My process has a working set in excess of 193 MB now, and growing (even though Messenger is essentially idle).
