Well I'm glad that this was one release that I was a bit slow with.  My hard drive is way too slow (stupid laptop) so if it is taking other people ages to install then it's not worth me doing it.  I'm sure the messenger team is copping enough flack about this that they are going to have to do something about it and I'll just keep my 8.5B1 until that time.

Can anyone explain to me why Messenger is so bloated anyway? like I do understand that it has a lot of features just sitting there doing nothing but they can just be waiting in separate DLLs which aren't even loaded?  I know it might mean that the nudge might take 0.01 of a second longer to start a nudge or something like that, but isn't it better to have less memory hogged so that you can actually afford the nice looking interfaces on machines on the lower end of the scale of the minimum system requirements.  Just my 2 cents on it all.
