OH NO! HELL NO! IF THEY FORCE ME TO USE -THIS- PIECE OF CRAP AS WELL, I’M GOING TO QUIT WLM!

I’m NOT going to use it! Just looking at the main window could make me puke!

It looks just as horrible as the new “Windows Media Player” that came with Win7. It’s a TORTURE! A CURSE! I so hate the new crap Microsoft’s making.

How can one single company screw up so many things in so little time?

That’s one for the book of world records! ;p

If this post gets deleted - I don’t care.

I’m certain that at least 100.000 users think the same way. And we all want MSN 8.5 back, where nothing was bugged and user-unfriendly as it is now.

I hope there’s an option disable the social streams cause it looks Way to cluttered, bulky and has no new extravagant features such as animated backgrounds to the contact lists, they better fix it or I’m defenately sticking with 09 version.

Hello Justin,

The social streams that you see on the left can be disabled with the Layout button in the top-right corner.

There are rumors that there will be a public Windows Live Essentials 2010 Beta in the coming weeks, but nothing has been officially confirmed or denied yet. Stay tuned…

The bigger ad area is really stupid..

Whats msn about? chatting to ppl.

Now its 1/4 of the space, the contact area.

I think this is a stupid layout^^
