[Messenger] Photo Sharing
When sharing photos in Windows Live Messenger, an in-window slideshow occupies the majority of the message window and cannot be resized. Only a couple of lines of conversation can be seen at a time.
Allow vertical resizing of the slideshow pane.
Alternatively, show pictures in a different window altogether, or in a pop-out section much like games are done.

[Messenger] Allow typing into message windows when offline
When intermittently disconnected (Offline) from Windows Live Messenger, typing into message windows is disabled.
If one is using a weak wireless network, this may happen every few minutes, and become very irritating having to wait for Messenger (more...)
Do not disable input into message windows when disconnected. Notify the user that they are offline and can't actually send messages another way, such as disabling the send button.

Service Agreement at Setup uses custom scrollbars that look like Classic theme
The /very/ first setup screen displaying the service agreement uses custom scrollbars. Seriously, why not just use the native scrollbars? If you want to create custom scrollbars then fine, just don't make it look like the Windows Classic theme.
Use the native controls!!

Remove advertising from Messenger; clean-up and remove bloat from Messenger interface.
Messenger is supposed to be Microsoft's core IM app for windows. Why is it riddled with ads? Of course I know the answer to why this is, but it really makes Messenger look like cheap piece of shareware or something. It also clutters up the messenger (more...)

Higher Resolution video in Messenger
Windows Live Messenger only supports video calls in 320x240 QVGA resolution. Most modern webcams, however, support VGA and higher. Modern internet connections are also now > 1Mbit and should be fine with the bandwidth.
Give us hi-res video if all users can support it, dropping down to a lower resolution if the quality of service is poor. Also use better video encoding such as H.264 instead of H.263.
