Hi. i was just wondering if windows made the right decision to make a new family of messenger, rather than stick with the msn name... i mean ive been on msn since the 6.0 and i remember all those loverly white days... but now all i see is a new advance blue and i think that some people might not like it and perfer msn... but then again, ive heard plus! for msn is now gone... and that wud make msn lovers unhappy... so  i was just wonderin wha u lot thought.. is it a good thing that msn is now wlm?

well windows were running 2 messenger and to bring them together is a good idea but msn was good and didnt mess up as much as wlm

yes. and soon i bet that'll cause them to go out of buisness because the average man wont understand a thing! and it looks as if they're trying to put some vista into xp with wmp11, i saw it and it looks too strange!!

---

thought so!

why have they released  wmp 11 4 xp then

cause its a beta and they want to get feedback on how bad it is so that they can then make it worse for vista and then make money on crappy things!!! windows suckS!!


anyway back to the topic of the messenger

lol so wlm is that ment 4 vista

no wlm is ment for xp only the new windows messenger aero is for vista...

they changed the name again?!?!



BRING BACK MSN!!!! WE LOVED THE MICROSOFT NETWORK!! NO MORE WLM!!! WE'RE NOT SURE ABOUT THE WINDOWS LIVE NETWORK!!!

msn 8.0 should be made

yeah or msn 7.5.1

haha what about the msn 7.5 thats still alive we can still go back 2 that

so ur saying there is a msn 8.0

yes but have u noticed that all the msn messengers seemed to work perfectly and now they've got wlm i think it works with bugs... am i right?

why didn't they just improve on 7.5??

yeh the wlm is starting to mess up ive had to make up 4 different accounts because the others wudnt sign in!! on wlm 8.0

i wulda been fine with wlm if they had kept the name to msn and kept the style of it to the cooler version (the signiture of -!Felu!-)

yeh i had that cool one once it was cool and wlm is just 7.5  but a different name!!im sticking with 8.0

no its not 7.5!!! look up msn 7.5 on google images and then wlm on images... then tell me they're the same!!! even on the adverts for wlm it says msn has evolved... aka doesn't exist any more!!

yeh well i suppose thats wat it wud be if they had done msn 8.0 and on web syts it sez wlm 8.0 fromerly known as msn 8.0

You two suck. Nubs.

WLM is msn 8.0 they changed the name to bring in the wave of the new Windows Live products.

WLM is for XP and Vista.

No I don't think it is a good idea. Eventually the two will probably be merged though and everything will be back to  normal

There are so many inaccuracies and blatant lies in this thread, I'm surprised it still exists. I'm going to clear everything up, once and for all.

1. Microsoft never merged the two Messenger clients. MSN Messenger was totally redesigned as Windows Live Messenger, and Windows Messenger has just been dropped completely.

2. Furthermore, there won't be any future versions of MSN Messenger.

3. Windows Live Messenger is an improvement on MSN Messenger 7.5.

4. Windows Live is a new brand for Internet-based services that will both integrate Windows with the Web, and rival Google. All current MSN services are being upgraded to the Windows Live brand.

5. Windows Live services will be, and already are, much more tightly integrated than MSN services ever were.

6. Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP is an upgrade for Windows Media Player 10 for XP, and will bring the next generation of Windows Media to the XP platform. It just lacks a few features that will be included in Windows Media Player 11 for Vista.

7. Windows Live Messenger was never known as MSN Messenger 8, as that would have confused the rebranding.

8. The stability of the network has been shaken by the introduction of Windows Live Messenger and the Yahoo! Instant Messenger integration, but the same happens with all new technologies. Over the next few months, the problems will be ironed out, and the service will be more reliable as a result.

9. The new technologies that Microsoft are creating actually greatly simplify the use of various services. Sharing Folders is easier to use and understand than File Transfers, yet Sharing Folders is the more complicated feature.

10. Microsoft, like Google, are releasing betas into the wild to allow more knowledgeable users to test the software on a much wider variety of machines and configurations than either company can manage by themselves. The end result is a product that is stable on more machines than ever.

11. Felu's signature is actually based on an old beta version of Windows Live Messenger, which had a different look and feel to the released version.

12. If you can't understand well-written, gramatically-correct and correctly spelt English, I suggest you spend some time learning how to use English properly.

yeh i no its just an arguement between me n fishy

yeah lol

8.0 is better and more quicker as i found out and that vista looks mence

All the features from MSN 8 are in WLM, so its not like you're losing out, if you don't like the new features, don't use them.
