RE: A compiled list of the awfulness of WLM
@absorbation: I'm not talking about the things which could be 'improved'. I'm talking about things which aren't bugs in WLM at all...

eg: 1) There is no “Do you wish to overwrite the existing file?” message when using Save Target As… to receive a file.

I'm not talking about things like that ^^. Everybody knows this isn't a bug at all, but just a thing by-design, not implemented yet.



@DragonQ: "Why? If something doesn't work as it's meant to, it's a bug". Not if it was not designed that way. If something does not what you think it should do, doesn't mean it is a bug.

Again, many stuff you listed, DragonQ, are not bugs at all, and even maybe some stuff didn't happened at all (refering to the so many random bugs which you all experienced but no other tester did; so either all those didn't happen at all, where misinterpreted or you are a hell of a beta tester. Personally I highly doubt you got all those 'bugs' with just quickly going thru the program, as you've said... sorry)

eg: 6) Handwriting just doesn’t appear most of the time for no reason.

Or this means your contact doesn't have handwriting capebilities (in this case WLM is acting in the proper way), or it means your Ink drivers aren't installed properly or another program is interfearing with it (in this case WLM can't do anything about it, it isn't an OS).

eg: 9) It is called WINDOWS LIVE! Messenger. Worst. Name. Ever.

Not only is this just a personal preference, it is also called "Windows Live" for a perfect valid reason, which is explained already many times in other threads, and explained in extreme detail on MS' own pages.

eg: 25) WLM sometimes just doesn’t change your status when you’re idle after the 5 minute timeout has elapsed.

This isn't a bug at all and only depends on the status of your computer. It are other processes, processes which you even don't know about, which dictate if a computer is in idle status or not (it can even be a wake-up-on-lan bios setting). If Messenger doesn't get this idle state, it doesn't go to idle.

eg: etc...
