either they haven't  done that or the screenshots were taken on Windows Xp

Well I'm pretty confident they did, but our source told us it was a pretty poor attempt (classic Microsoft style) .

I don't mind it.

Slightly dissapointed by the features, they are alright i guess, the whole thing could look a whole lot better but i guess thats why we have skinning

Screenshot Wlm 9 build 14:

The "header" is the blue stuff you see on top, the toolbar.... (why do they indeed name such stuff differently all the time? it's a lightblue _toolbar_... :/)

Well, now that the screenshots are out (since when is it ok for Inky and others to leak this kind of stuff and getting away with it???? Unless "We were asked to keep it quiet for now, but of course we couldn't contain our excitement" is a realy false statement), let me say this:


Change in UI, news features... very nice.... but the plain old simple stuff isn't even touched!! eg: sorting the groups (categories) in the way you want instead of forced alphabetical. And I bet that damn old privacy issue for group convos still exist too. And on top of that they now are going to integrate group chats even deeper in such a way that you probably aren't able to decline anything anymore or have a clue as to who reads what or can get private info from you (refering now to again another plain old privacy issue involving the friends of friends list)....

I rather would see not much changes on the surface, but more changes on the small things which are always forgotten, those small things which would make the live of IM'ers way more beter than a fancy new UI...

Let's hope further betas will improve on that...

Sorry MS, but for now, I'm _not_ impressed (especially taking into consideration what has been discussed on the last mvp summit)...

Indeed, and i really hope it can be changed back to ''normal''

who is the moron who asked that anyway =/
it simply sux, then there are going to be patches, to change it to 8.5 style...

They just dont get it, Messenger Team should just make a ''Patched'' version of Messenger, and remove all of that shit they just added

well looks like they are getting their act together design wise. It would be cool to take a look at the UIfiles to get a good idea of what skinners will be up against.
