As for the search bar, I don't understand why I would use a search bar in MSN Messenger when I got one in Maxthon, Internet Explorer, and at my favourite search engine's site.

I don't fully understand this link, unless MSN is using the search bar for advertising (ie. collecting info on what people who use MSN like, so the advertising banner can be more specific). As for the "Add Contact" option, that doesn't seem to be the least useful to the MSN staff, and there should be some way of removing it. Perhaps a beef to pick with MSN...

2. An option to turn off NUDGE! I haven't talked to anyone online with Messenger 7 yet, but from what I hear, that little nudge can be quite annoying (someone once said "Stop nudging, or I'll block you!") So, if you can disable it, or block it on certain contacts, that would be cool!
u can do that already in MSN. go to tools>options> messages and disable "allow others to send me nudges".
Whoops, my bad.

add some Terms and Agreements, before the Sponsor terms page. That way, people raise an eyebrow when they have to say "I Accept" twice.
i personally dont like the idea 
Yea, I can understand not liking the idea. And, please, nobody take this the wrong way, but I know several people who will NOT install Plus for the sole reason of the sponsor program, and they are too stupid to realize they are installing it. Even if the Terms page said "I understand that the next page will ask me to install a sponsor program" It'll still be better than having it there, and everyone confusing it for the regular terms of any other program (ie. Office, Windows, WordPerfect, etc.)

A few questions about some new options, too... (for anyone to answer) What's the Numberical Statistical data that you would like us to send you (as in the options dialog)
statistics of which fertures have u used, so patchou can know what are the most used features.
I see... so maybe I should turn that feature on. Maybe then Patchou can work harder on the features I like (depending that others like them as well)

Also, under Prefs, Contact List, General Options, what's the checkbox with no name on it? It's got a BETA note under it, but nothing to say what it is (but it is checked)
Doh! i think patchou removed the text by accident 
. its to allow the use of format tags in ur contact list (so if a contact has a colred nick, u will see it colored. if u disable the option, u will se the code of the color instead.
lol! I figured something like that. Being a simple VB.NET/VB6 developer (on the side, not by trade), I can notice how that happens! I thought something like that by the image to its left.
Well, thanks for your help and quick reply, Chrono. You've offered some good insight. I can't wait for Messenger Plus and Messenger 7 to come out of beta, even though I don't notice many obvious bugs.
