So all the Windows live apps (Messenger, Mail) don't minimize correctly to system tray in Win7 :sleepy: Yet an app like uTorrent Minimizes to tray perfectly and does not remain sitting on the Taskbar :rolleyes:

All the Win7 Betas .. no one on the windows live team addressed the issue ?? and i don't want to run these apps in win vista mode, they should work right out the box :huh: So the question is.. Am I overlooking this, or should/will windows live address this issue soon ???

Its just that microsoft doesn't see this as an issue. It sees this as a good way to utilize the jumplist (ex: windows live messenger's task list)
Im sorry that your problem couldn't be resolved. I agree that it is better for some to run from the notification area. =(
Maybe, you can post this up on microsoft's forums. They might pay attention to it. You can also go to connect.microsoft.com and they should have a program for windows live essentials, from which you can send your feedback and suggestions.
I also agree that utorrent is an awesome program ^^.
