In that case he should have had it in 4.00 because the WLM team already had it there and once they have a feature they're never going to update it.
I couldn't agree more....

I hope not. The custom contact names is, for me that is, more important than skinning (not saying that skinning is crap, far from it, but custom names like in Plus!3 is waaaaay more usefull to me personally).
And I am 100% certain that once this is added back, extremely many people will be happy. Proof: see all the reactions when (!N)/(!M) in the custom names was added and the same amount of reactions when the custom names feature was removed in Plus!Live (exactly because WLM's nickname feature lacks the use of (!N)/(!M)).

Ah, well not really... With reinventing the wheel I meant that the 'design' of the feature is already known. One already knows what it is suppose todo, how it should be, what not, what the possebilities are, etc.

Like I personally would prefer to see the functionality that tabs used to have and I feel it is more important than just improving a feature that is missing just one or two tiny things to make it complete in your view.
This is far from a tiny thingie which is missing IMHO (like unable to select 'name and email' in the desktop contacts, or unable to select more than 'busy' and 'away' in the personalised status window). It's the whole essence of the feature which is missing
