If exporting ALL your contacts and settings in the process of upgrading a program is not an A PRIORITY really I don't see what it is... just imagine what would happen if for example Microsoft updated IE and "left out" our bookmarks, or Outlook and thought our address list is "not a priority"....
You people have done exactly this same thing... Many of us heavy MSN users who have multiple accounts with hundreds of names renamed at this point would PAY (if we could) just to get out of this problem... so much for trusting a "third party free program" - you give this term a bad name
Patchou is far from unthoughtful. He had to make some big decisions so he could get MP!L out soon after the WLM final release. If a few features got the chop as a result, it was the lesser of two evils. No-one underestimates the popularity of the old Custom Contact Names, and as been said dozens of times already, if the WLM Nicknames feature doesn't improve, expect to see at least a partial return of Custom Names.

Note: I say 'partial' because all that's needed is support for tags, and the removal of the nickname length limit.
