I did the download the other day but did the Custom as I didn't need to add the Family Safety thing, there's only me using this machine. I did install Messenger for the first time though, I've not bothered with that app before so thought I'd give it a go. I already use Facebook and have a Twitter account, mind you I don't use them that much but they're there when I want them.:D

I was already using WLM Beta and installed over the top without problems, I expect the same will have happened with Photo Gallery and Movie Maker, I've not opened them yet.

So far I'm happy and have not found any problems.;)

hrmm well i removed it and added it back and now it works, weird :confused:

also just noticed when you remove last name to the blank narrow character and go to add a friend it says you must enter lastname before continuing and the blank narrow character doesn't paste in the box

you can change your lastname to appear to yourself only anyway

would be good if your chatting to someone via facebook from msn and that the convo would close from facebook the same time as you closed it from msn, annoying closing it separately

:D

this is good english - i know it seems plural, but can be used as an alternative to he/she...

otherwise the message would read '...messages you send will be delivered when he or she signs in.'

how does messenger know the sex of the offline user?

It's ok for informal usage, but if you put something like that on a formal essay or a project paper, you're gonna get points taken off of the grade because technically it is incorrect English. However, when we're speaking to informal friends or family, no one cares.

Not everyone hates smartscreen, nor even notice it. So suggesting that no one download it is a bit over the top for something you CAN disable (see Brink's post above).
