    button to dismiss the logon window. This behavior differs from all the previous versions. The second issue is: It does not allow to remember only the user account (email address) but not the password. Which means it only offers to remember both the user email address and the password, or it remembers none of both. I used to have it remember my email address, and I typed in only the password each time when I was going to use MSN. Now I have to type 20 more characters each time when I am going to log on MSN. X| The third issue is: It does not provide the edit box for users to edit their nicknames in the options of WLM client. To change the display name (or the nickname), it launches the Windows Live webpage to prompt you to log on. The last thing is: The emoticons of Windows Live Messenger 2011 are ugly. X|

                        Yes, exactly!! :laugh: I'm serious. The first bug in the list is packet (message) loss issue. I believe most of you have encountered this situation that you had pressed [ENTER] to sent the messages out and the client did not cry for msg transmit failure. But your contact actually did not receive that specific message at all. The second bug is... I'm Chinese and I usually chat with my contacts in Chinese. The previous versions (MSN 7.x, WLM 8.x) used to failed to switch to Chinese input mode, and WLM 14 under Vista sometimes crashed when I was about to switch to Chinese input mode when I was pressing Ctrl + SPACE. The third bug is still related with Chinese text. I configured the font face as Arial 10. When the text is purely in English, it looks well. But if I type some Chinese characters, then the latter English characters and symbols followed by the Chinese character look ugly.

                          Isn’t that the one with the integrated msn today and social networks? Uninstalled it the moment I saw those and downloaded my trusty trillian client again.

                            The WLM Team hasn't realized that most of the users just want a simple software client to chat.
