"lots of problems"
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
Pros
better than the original Messenger I guess
Cons
Search Enhancement Pack window annoyingly appears on computer startup.
My Calendar software incompatible with Windows Live calendar - cannot transfer appointments.
IE Windows Live page clumsier than Hotmail; can't hold a candle to MSN Explorer.Summary
Tired of being forced to newest versions, having to relearn stuff, and having no support for older ones. Navigating to get help gets more and more complicated, then they want to charge you for it. It's never as easy (or cheap) as they want you to believe when they try to sell these programs to you. Windows Live OneCare messed up my registry so I have trouble with MSN downloadhost, and put annoying Search Enhancement Pack folder window on "run at startup" for some reason - people have complained about it for nearly a year online, but still no fix update from MS.

"very annoying"
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
Pros
not sure yet
Cons
I am a msn email subscriber. Since updating to this version, I am forced to have to look at windows live messager everytime I sign on to view my msn email.
Summary
another example of microsoft shoving there product down your throat whether you want it or not. I use my msn email. If I want to continue to use msn email, I am stuck with window lives opening up on my screen everytime I sign in. I wrote to microsoft support and was told what boxes to un-check and check. This did not work. When I wrote back to microsoft they said that i should write to windows live support.
My complaint is I am unhappy with the windows live messenger "pop up" opening up everytime I go to view my e-mail...

"Great for IM and picture sharing."
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
Pros
I love the way they set it up. And the instant picture sharing is a nice feature. If you do a Ctrl + Prnt Scrn then to share it you just paste it in to the IM box. The video is very good too, and the audio.
Cons
Not really anything.
Summary
A great program made by Microsoft! :)

"THE WIFE CAN'T WORK IT OUT EITHER" snikker snikker LOL

This is great to use, easy access to my Yahoo emails, Block people you dont want to talk to. When are you going to produce something that works just as well on my wife. I've got some mate's that would love to purchase something that would do just that alone, despite all the other great features...
