Edit: it might happen when your contacts use plus! 3.20.100 (and have you displayed on their desktop) instead of the newest version 3.21.104 because it shows floating contacts (contacts on desktop) in taskmanager as an opened window/conversation..so probably msn server sees it the same way. This will only happen when you log in or if they put you on their desktop later on.
When you sign in and you get notifications from people saying they've opened your conversation window, it's because they are using MSN Messenger 7.
When you use MSN Messenger 7 and someone signs in, have you noticed how their display picture is displayed in the toast? It can't retreive that magically. The way it does it is by sending the "conversation window opened" packet to them, because MSN Messenger is set to send your display picture over once it receives that, which it does, and then is displayed.
It also does the same when you view the person's "contact card", obviously.
