Maybe MS is working on their own WPF version of WLM to release for Windows Live 3.0. Though they're probably working to ensure that it won't be as buggy or slow as Y!'s was.

They probably just added that to show that anything that looks good is kind of helpful to the user experience. If only they just work on the way it functions...

Yes the Yahoo Messenger for Vista program is the WORST!!, it has loads of un-neccesary transparencies, graphics and animations that make it un-usable (at-least when i tried it). Un-installed it promptly and never installed it again.

Damn! using WPF (and making it glossy) doestn have to be that bad, spoiling the whole user experience.

At this point, it's a horrible program. Very slow, minimal features, and completely pointless to use unless you just HAVE to be using the latest and greatest.
