All I can say is tabbed chats is nice, Plus! does it, but it was bound to be done natively sooner or later.... but WTF at that first screenshot? That's ugly in so many ways. Oversized font, dual scrollbars, giant ad, oversized window in general... and that's a window they are expecting a user to keep open most of the time to see their friends' updates come in?

I know just about every major version had large groups of people who didn't like the new design, but how do they seriously expect to get away with this one? Just the size of the ad alone should get some people fired.

I guess they should change the name to Windows Live Ads

Who the fuck designs these things, honestly?!

Big corporations never listen to their users, idiots.

"Yeah, lets just shove as much crap as we can into it! Who cares what it looks like?!"

When will they understand that users don't want bloated crapware.

Most people just want a small and simple instant messenger to communicate with friends.

Is that so much to ask?

We're talking about Microsoft.
The increasing number of Windows versions should be a tip
