of course there will be a size restriction, and it wont slow WLM down too much really just think about it being 1 slightly larger emoticon.
but i dont really know if it is true that it does have it... though i think it will

Mess.be has it on the new features list but i havent seen it anywhere else, and cool.
But if it loads them all on startup of wlm, and every one of your contacts has one, then it obv will slow it down, no?

These are pre-emptive questions. The build has not yet been released, and it will be an alpha, so no one can know for sure. It is a feature, Yes. Thats the extent of knowledge.

I can't see it slowing down messenger much, it's only going to load them for the contacts you're speaking to and then cache them. It's the same as loading a .gif avatar on the forums, it doesn't lag your internet browser does it.

I'm sure there are going to be auto restrictions on the likes of DP. Kind of like how our current ones get cut down and transformed into PNG, the new ones would probably have a limitted frame rate and dimentions.
As has been previously stated, this feature might be discontinued, all you have to do is look back at 8.1 B1 and see that they got rid of the Live and Local feature.

Hmm, I don't think they will be able to see them because that is a feature of 9.0, not 8.1/8.5 . Maybe in later builds, MS may make it compatible so that an 8.x user can see 9.x's person animated gif.
