RE: Taking away display names is HORRIBLE.
On the contrary, by not releasing on XP what are they doing (i am referring to the new version of WLM)? Promoting Vista and Windows 7. Windows XP is not making any more sales at the moment and by not releasing this a person who wants this will either switch to Vista/7 or not install it.
If that person wants better synchronisation with Facecrap they have to upgrade. Again, promoting Vista/7. The reason this policy was changed was as previously mentioned to allow better synchronisation but why wasn't it offered on XP as well since more users have XP than Vista/7?
Because promoting a new product on a system that people already have will not bring them money. Same thing why they will not be releasing IE9 on XP, most people already have XP but if they want the new toys they have to get a new OS>>> More money.
The display name policy was changed so that there is better synchronisation and so on. What does that mean? People will be using WLM for more than just a single chat program. Using WLM for more purposes than just chat means that WLM will be used more if it provides more services. Correct? And what does WLM have? ADS. Meaning if more people use a product, then it means that more people will be seeing the Ads that the program has, hence the Ads just became more expensive>>More money.
Simple economics.
