You can do that, we've already been over that. But it doesn't solve any of the real important issues:
* People's full names will still be shown once they install the new Messenger without them being warned about it. This is a privacy issue.
* There is still no setting to hide my last name even though the Live site claims there is. Even when they add the limited friends group, as long as there is no privacy control for your name this doesn't change anything.
You can set to not show your contact information, you can even set to show them to "Just me".
Don't know how the nickname change in that case, but if you change your name, put a blank space in your last name as you said, and put show personal contact information to "just me" or to "Some friends (except limited access)" you show nothing to none. So i still don't see the problem.
The first thing that appears when you log in the new messenger is the status with your name, at least i noticed it really soon, and i went to search where the option to change the nick was on Google. Yeah could be more clear probably, overall cause it's a change from msn 2009, but i won't say it's a hidden change.
I preferred the old way, but really i don't care a lot of it, as far as i can hide it, it's ok. Anyway in other social networks (now windows live pratically is a social network) usually your name and your contact infor have the same privacy options.
