i dont think so Danny

Doesn't mmatter which ptotocol version you use. It matters what protocol your contacts use.

Large corporations and their motives doesn't mean we should blindly swallow whatever they push down our throat.

i highly doubt that once i tell them how shit WLM2010 is . this could make people go over to AIM or Yahoo or ICQ

Well if the fact that you can change it to whatever you want = not showing your personal info, isn't enough for you, i presume you shouldn't use it.
I understand it can be a problem for you, but it's something personal.
Don't wanna show your name, change it. Easier seems impossible.

If you wanna use your real name, there is really no need to hide it.

So as i see it:
-You want to use your real name, you put it into your info.
-You don't want to use your real name, you don't put it into your info.

I don't see any obligation.

Plus we are talking about a beta, there are flaws and it's supposed to be so, probably some flaws are really huge. If you don't want to take the risk you should never use beta of any softwares, it's normal.

For me makes no sense to talk about such little issues (cause it's an issue created by a wrong usage), when there are issues like the process msnmsgr,exe not closing when you close msn. This is really a deal breaker, one of the reason I could switch back to 2009.

Bring back the nickname field and the privacy control for the full name.
- If I fill in a nickname that will be shown in Messenger
- If I don't fill in a nickname my real name is still shown
- If I set my privacy control to not show my last name only my first name is shown.

Aware. I'm not talking for myself. Google Menthix and the first thing you'll find is my own site with my full name on it. But if this goes final a lot of people will be upset about it, and rightly so IMHO.

Wait, what!? Sure, everybody has different priorities. But caused by wrong usage? By who? It is now my fault I filled in my last name because Microsoft told me not to worry and I told Microsoft to not publish the last name, but months later Microsoft "simplifies" their privacy controls and decided that last name I told Microsoft is private is now public information??

Again you are talking about msn 2009. Keeps using it, if you have problems with the beta.

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:

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)
