Live Messenger 2009 released

redhat · 20-12-2008, 03:17 PM

Microsoft has released Windows Live Messenger 2009. I got it as an update when I signed into MSN today.
But downloading and installing it was probably a big mistake!!!
Because all my messenger contacts which i had built over the years was lost!!
The groups and everything still remains on hotmail but in messenger, it shows my that I have no contacts!!!
So, beware before downloading and installing this new version of Live messenger

All of those softwares bundled would be that much.

Messenger stand alone wont be more than 20-30MB.

We'll update the list of changes below as we discover them (some of these items have previously been reported). Because nearly 200 bugs have been fixed, we won't go into listing them.

From the Live installer, you can choose what you want to install. Select only Messenger if thats what you want. It would be a much smaller file.

Hope the final Version is slim. Really how big does a messenger software needs to get.Surely you dont want a full Movie size messenger.You may as well download the movie.
Talk about bloatware.
