Tab chats in messenger (OPTIONAL OF COURSE!)

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Usability

Problem: Simple option to have tab chats in messenger. (OPTIONAL OF COURSE!). Messenger plus does this, but it has been a request since the messenger 6 or 7 days I believe, so not get the ball rolling. many people chat with more then one person, even you know it by the screenshot on the website

So why hasnt tab chats come in to messenger?

Severity: Low

Impact: Low

Status: Fixed

Fixed in Messenger 2010.

Every app out there has tabs:
IE, Google Chrome, Visual Studio, 3rd party IM apps.

Its going to make the IM app so much better with lot of real estate (desktop space) freeing up.

+1!
Messenger Plus!'s tabbed chats can't show custom names, since Messenger has "stolen" this feature from Messenger Plus!
