WTF, that shouldn't cause any problems as that feature is only a hardware thing.

Frankly, I can't name 5 things that even work correctly in this version. Almost all features behave in unexpected ways. One major bug everyone's been reporting is the contact list display pictures not loading unless you open a conversation window with the contact or its contact card.

  4. New message sound plays two times on new windows  << No...
  5. Typing text feels much slower compared to WLM8  << Not at all.
  6. Contact list randomly jumping around when a contact signs in  << Nope.
  7. Alert sounds stack (bug or not? Certainly annoying though, unless it is a different alert)  << nope.
  8. Disabled icons disappear and reappear when talking to offline contacts <One bug!

Eight for you since you are a butterfly.

Of course, these bugs will not stop you from using the new version, but they are annoying :P
Everything is working fine here...

I haven't experienced that a single time. Honestly.

  3. Broken Alt-Shortcuts on Add contacts window in English version <<< Not here
  4. New message sound plays two times on new windows <<< Not here.
  5. Typing text feels much slower compared to WLM8 <<< Honestly, can't say it's ever been faster or slower.
  6. Contact list randomly jumping around when a contact signs in <<< Not that either.
  7. Alert sounds stack (bug or not? Certainly annoying though, unless it is a different alert) <<< Personally I find that quite OK.
  8. Disabled icons disappear and reappear when talking to offline contacts <<< Noticed that.

Eight for you since you are a butterfly.

Seriously, are the bugs people are experiencing so variable from source to source?

For me, it changes to my current song, no matter when it started...

I'm afraid I agree with the original tone of the thread.  Having dealt with specific Messenger problems for over 9 years, the current release of WLM 2009 ranks among the lower quality versions. 

Besides what's already been mentioned, things which grace my inbox every single day include all sorts of install problems, crashes when starting Messenger, A/V compatibiilty (what works in 2008 no longer works in 2009), nevermind the plenty of small cosemetic things.

I personally consider all Messenger releases to be somewhat "beta" in nature.  The "official" releases are just feature complete. 

I'm sure some people remember that prior to the 8.x releases we generally had new point releases regularly, so there was more hope of bugs getting fixed occassionly.  This is opposed to the current mantra of just punting a lot of bugs to the next release, especially those that are cosmetic or hard to reproduce in the lab.

In the previous versions 8.1-8.5 there were multi release of versions that would serve as a fix for the version beforehand, would they do this for 09 or are they just lazy?
