cosy, first uninstall 2011, then go to OldApps, there you can download the last 2009 build setup.

What I'm wondering is for how long we can use v2009 before MS forces us to update to v2011?

Haha.. Probably not that long. I remembering wondering the same.

Yeah.. But its still bigger than previous versions, and you cant make it any smaller. Also, not being able to change your name and stuff, is a bit upsetting.

It's not bigger if you put it compact view, like swarfega suggested.

And if you click on your name, the dropdown list has edit name and you can switch view.

No, even with compact view, it is bigger. And i already knew you could do compact, if it was that big box, my god, i'd stop using MSN all together if thats what they forced on us.

Bigger than what? It looks the same to me.

@derekimo
In the older versions, you could make the " compact " window, more compact, in this one, you're not aloud to make it any smaller.

Windows Live Messenger - Change to Full or Compact View

Thank you! You just saved my Messenger, ugh, I really do not like the new look

Haha. I know, right? xD..
Did you notice even in compact, its bigger, and you cant even edit it? You can just make that compact, " BIGGER. " Also, the whole name thing. Thats just.. fail. Srsly. Having custom names and what not was sweet. I'm just alittle annoyed that even with me somewhat fixing the memory problems i had, MSN still doesn't run like i'd want it to with Killer Zeno Pro.
