WLM Improvements
Windows Live Messenger is a fairly good program at the moment, but there are some simple things that would add a great deal of usefullness to it, and that are present in much simpler messengers (emessene comes to mind).
1-youtube thumbnail preview when receiving/sending a link (extensible to other sites)
2-tabs. i don't want to have 10 conversation windows. I'd rather haver one with 10 tabs. (Also, and i'm not sure about this, but i think it would perhaps improve ram usage?)
3-nick colors (aka msn plus functionaliy, its a shame that a good program has to rely in add ons to do stuff the users want it to do)
4-more costumization (the little allert windows, etc)

How to tab chats suck? Its better then having tons of windows open. Not to menton its no diferent then tab brosweing
Ok Ensign Joe: thanks for the trolling ;)
Now that we moved past that:
1- Emesene has youtube preview implemented: it is not too big, it works like a charm. Of course that by your talk you are just a moron who has never used linux, so you wouldn't know...
2-Tabs in IMs rule. Of course that you being a moron don't have many friends, so the benefit of tabs for you is minimal. But there are those who need it.
3-Yeah, kind of see your point. But i'm all for freedom and choice: if you can let the users choose, then let them. Don't force them into anything, ant that includes black color for the nick.
4- First good answer you gave: you don't know. Very good indeed ;)
With Windows 7 it's better without tabs.
Why? I always have a lot of chats open and I'd like to have tabs. I dont need to have a bunch if windows open

1. YouTube preview would be too big for the messenger window and I don't wanna have another "level" like this shitty "Share pictures"-thingie.
2. Tabs in IMs suck.
3. Nick colors suck as well.
4. dunno
