Windows Live Messenger 9.0 - milestone feature request
October 22nd, 2006 by 
Zack Whittaker
Whilst you budding Windows Live Messenger testers are fiddling around with the interim version, 8.1, there’s still another major milestone coming. Once a product has been released, they usually look for how it can be improved for the later version; with Windows XP, before it hit the shelves they realised how it could be improved for the next operating system, being Windows Vista. Even though Messenger 8.1 is to come out before Christmas 2006 (if all goes accordingly), Microsoft are still planning what’s to come in Messenger 9.0 which will be the next major milestone for this core Windows Live service.
So… what do you want to go into it? If you use any version of Windows Live Messenger, what could be improved - what doesn’t need to be there - what could be included? If you’re not a Windows Live Messenger user (maybe you’ve stuck with MSN Messenger 7.5 or use an alternative client), then what would persuade you to jump on the bandwagon for the new version?
Some things to think about include:
- Theme of the client
- Adding features that Messenger Plus! Live offers as an addition to the original client
- Family Safety features - making sure your children and those younger are safe
- Windows Vista and Windows Aero (previously known as Aero Glass) enhancements
- Audio/video features
- Virus and malware protection
- File sharing and modifications to Sharing Folders
- Video sharing
- Windows Live Spaces within the main window (eg: blog directly from Messenger)
- Windows Live Mail within the main window (eg: send mail directly from Messenger)
- Added plug-ins and sharing activities
- Colour functionality in names by default
If you can think of anything including, or a modification of the above features that you want to see in Messenger, leave a comment and I’ll make sure someone/many of the Messenger team has a browse around for ideas. Leave a comment below 
Update - 23rd October 2006 at 17:25 GMT: All these comments have been submitted to Microsoft. As I’m writing this, I’m sending it as a transfer over Messenger… but keep the great ideas coming in - all of these comments are really good and with some confidence I can say that I think they’ll like them

I’d like to see more Glass elements included and tabbed conversation windows.
October 22nd, 2006 at 3:26 pm
What id like to see is:
some glossy colors added to the Color changer.
Abit more Funtionality + Control over things
The Ablity to do Custom status Messages
Perhaps a Theme Changer E.g. Switch from the WLM interface to the Old MSN Messenger 7.0 or even 6.0 interfaces.
October 22nd, 2006 at 4:59 pm
Controll voice less echo.When i chat hear it in 3d sound.Video in hd.
October 22nd, 2006 at 7:43 pm
Ah i see where you are coming from Jonathan
This is offtopic but Let it be known… I have zero tolerance for people abusing one another in these comments
October 22nd, 2006 at 8:24 pm
I want to suggest something about Sharing folders. Drop that feature and integerate FolderShare - http://www.foldershare.com - right into messenger. It’s a great standalone product but it offers all the features that should have been in Messenger’s Sharing folders. Also, it’s now owned by Microsoft
October 22nd, 2006 at 9:22 pm
Full support for ICQ/Aim messaging.
Alerts for any RSS feed of choice.
Windows Media Player functionality.
Email support for pop addresses.
October 22nd, 2006 at 9:23 pm
Can i say…Release more invites?? Or allow non-butterfly people to come in?? Lol!!
Actually, there are some things. like, allow pictures to be placed in convo (Instead of sending them as a file, just Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v).
Spelling checker-Useful occasionally.
Allow pictures in personal messages box.
Use Aero for emotions…Lol!!
I will think of more, as they come!!

*One more thing about Sharing folders. If it’s not foldershare then the Sharing Folders behavior should be changed to allow me to share the “same folder” to be shared with multiple people.

*Allow me to create my own dynamic display pictures
*Better support for plugins, i.e. allowing multiple plugins to be run at the same time.

Windows Live Messenger 9.0 SHOULD COME WITH!!
–Tabbed Conversation System.
I hate the fact that, you have to open tons of windows to chit-chat with people. Too many windows leads you into frustration and click back and forth to message back. All that can be simply save us time, if they had “Tabbed conversation system” integrated.
October 25th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
- Improved file transfer (timeleft&speed!)
- Animated displaypictures
- Normal and a compact skin
- export/import emoticons

Most of my idea have already been mentioned. But just a few important ones i like to reiterate.
1. Tabbed Conversation Window.
I am not expecting it to happen in 9.0 Since even explorer in Vista didn;t have the tab treatment. But most of us here know how annoying to it is with a filled up WLM Windows in your Task Bar. So please please consider it.
2. Resource Usage
From what i have seen 8.1 seems to have some slight improvement over 8.0 on resource however it is still not enough. Not to mention the speed and responsiveness of WLM is a lot slower then MSN 7.5.
3. File transfer.
The function file transfer is virtually useless. It is slow, and does not support resume. ( Which reminds me of ICQ… .. sigh ) Limit you to three file transfer. It would be great if it was a queueing system in place.
4. Emoticons.
Some of us cant live without them. And it is very sad to have format your computer and lost all emoticons. currently it is impossible for normal user to back up their emoticons saved over the years.
I think these 4 topics are in desperate need of improvement.
Other things i would like to see are
1. Allow choosing avatar display size in contact list
2. Timezone setting per contact. ( So i dont accidentally message them 3am in the morning when i am in different time zone )
3. Larger History Saved Size
4. Better History Viewing such as per Week / Month
5. Better audio and Video Call quality.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:38 am
- File transfer pause/resume
October 27th, 2006 at 4:10 pm
tabbed conversations, skinable, custom animated display pics, and resumable transfers
October 28th, 2006 at 2:29 pm
Where to download this messenger
November 1st, 2006 at 3:40 am
-I already know this is a bad idea…because I’ve suggested it elsewhere and have learnt why so, but custom emoticons in your name. The reason which was given to me why this was good and bad was because imagine when you log into WLM and you have to download everyones custom dps, it would be a nightmare, to which I say possibly you could have an option to say “turn custom dps in names on/off” and once custom dps were downloaded from your contacts names they would be saved in a cache or temp folder to avoid re-downloading them each time you log in.
-Pause and resume options for file transfer!! I cannot emphasise that enough. Also statistical information about the file transfer such as speed and time left would be good too.
-Different skins, we are living in a world where it’s all about us. What we install on our computer, what we wear, what’s in our room, what’s for breakfast - all about customization!! Skins colours dp’s backgrounds (for WLM main screen) you name it, if it’s customizable, we will love it. I liked the fact with WLM you could change the colours of windows, and so did my friends - so make us like it even more!!
Also try and come up with some new emoticons that come with WLM, and what’s with having “secret” emoticons anyway (the xbox/fingers crossed/smokes)? You should list those in the emoticons list too.

Well It’s Good To Hear That Microsoft Is Going to Launch Window live Messenger 9.0 But Still In The Process Of 8.1 Is Is Possible To Launch 9.0 So Soon…
After All Testers Are working On It..
And If Microsoft Launches The New 9.o Then The Features which I Like To Includes are:
- Notification When A contact Goes Offline
- Tools Like Messenger Discovery Live
- Now Playing Plugin For Any Media Player
- Skins
- Less Banners & Advertisements.
Hoping To See The “Windows Live Messenger 9.0″
-Darsh Trivedi.

the file transfer process is too slow and can only transfer 3 file at the same time is not enough, also if the skin and color of font are changable, it should be better.
November 5th, 2006 at 3:24 pm
I thnik that our nickname and personal message should have colour and differant types of font also ,, Differant colours of font for the messages….
November 7th, 2006 at 3:35 pm
No length limit on messages - it gets annoying when pasting things in.
Ability to have voice and video conversations with more than 1 person
Ability to play multiplayer msn games (more than 2 people)
Rich formatting of messages.
Ability to embed an image into the message.
Better reliability of “Whiteboard” and “Remote assistance” - they won’t work with 90% of my contacts.
The ability to “wisper” to just one person in a group conversation
Some API’s so developers can use the MSN messaging system to develop other applications that run on top of it.
November 8th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
Hi x I use to use msn + nd u can change the colors of ur screen name how can i do that on windows live messenger plz reply desperate xx

I Think They Should Make Roaming Emoticons!
November 11th, 2006 at 1:12 pm
All those paid features have to go. I’m ok with the ads and tabs, it’s one way of paying for the software. But semi-working pieces, ie. de facto blocking features like dynamic display pics and winks, are — to put it nice — annoying.
November 13th, 2006 at 11:52 am
when will there be a new windows live messenger that has cooler colours and more emoticons ???
November 14th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
file transfer sucks - needs to be faster - i can get much much faster through http://FTP.

November 16th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
“No length limit on messages - it gets annoying when pasting things in.” This is REAL annoying when trying to paste in anything of any lenght. What is the limit of pasting text? Can it be changed ANYWHERE?
Thanks
November 18th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
i would like to see more colour availabilitys for the sreen name and things like that! Definetly MORE COLOUR!!!!!!!and lots of other special features
November 19th, 2006 at 11:04 am
Add a “around here”/”available” status, which would mean people are available for chatting but are not completely willing to spend hours doing so. Most people use the “Away” status for this intention, which results in other people not knowing if they’re indeed away or if they just don’t want to be bugged to much.
November 20th, 2006 at 6:28 am
Well, adding custom emoticons one by one is a nightmare. If you have lots of them, adding all of them takes so long. I have always wanted an option that I can give a simple text file containing list of image files and the key shorts for all the emoticons that I want and… suddenly I find that Im done importing all the emoticons.
Also being able to export all custom emoticons to a single file would be nice.
November 24th, 2006 at 3:58 pm
I want to be able to make my font orange - I’m sick of the old colours!
November 25th, 2006 at 11:15 am

November 26th, 2006 at 12:49 am
-The possibility to install it over windows messenger,taht almost anybody use it nowdays.
-Being able to track where is the loaction,with whom we are talking with
November 26th, 2006 at 12:51 am
video display images,hmmm
November 26th, 2006 at 3:18 am

I would like to see tabbed windows, more customizable appearance and full integration to internet explorer so that you dont need to start both programs every time
November 26th, 2006 at 9:57 am
- “Last Online…” would be great.
- More Xbox Live intergration, send messages to Gamertags .etc
November 26th, 2006 at 9:58 am
things that msn needs
Notification of a contact going offline
display picture in contct list
Add now watching
November 26th, 2006 at 10:02 am
Seeing integrated tabbed conversations with Msg Plus would be great! Mutli-webcaming(be able to have 3-4 people cam 2gether) have new emotions, the others are gettin really old and dont fit in with the new look, made glossy emotions
also made the design fit in with the look of Windows Mail Live Desktop 
a more detailed file transfer and the ability to pause and resume would be great 
November 26th, 2006 at 10:10 am
ability to completely disable emoticons in some conversations as girls who insist on using flashy sparkly pictures for 2 letter words really really annoys me
November 26th, 2006 at 11:13 am
Tabs.
November 26th, 2006 at 12:39 pm
My Wishlist:
Multi Webcam conference
Multi Voice Chat conference (such as the likes of teamspeak)
Custom user interface (able to add remove features to make it lighter/minimalistic)
Custom animated avatars (such as gifs)
Different sounds for a person to appear online (without 3rd party)
Notification of a contact going offline
Transparency
Resume file transfer
Transfer progress bar always displayed rather than having to scroll up to find out how much has been completed
Dashboard (so it fills a whole side of a screen rather than leave a giant gap)
Better support for Remote Desktop Assistance
Automaticly download contacts display picture instead of having to click on each contact
November 26th, 2006 at 3:33 pm
My wishlist:
Multiple users video call
Tabbed conversation window
Animated display pictures
Integration with Windows Aero
Integration with Windows Sidebar (or at least include a gadget)
Updated emoticons and sounds
Better implemetation of “show contact details view” (maybe making the user pics smaller so it doesn’t take too much space)
If Live flare is still used, to have the option of choosing the top and bottom color
November 26th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
Get rid of the retarded UI and make it run off whatever Windows theme is currently active.
MORE MINIMALISM!!
November 26th, 2006 at 6:26 pm
Lower Memory usage.
November 26th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Skins
Ablility to change colours on more things
November 27th, 2006 at 1:14 am
Interoperability with Messenger for Mac (video, audio, etc.)
November 29th, 2006 at 9:43 pm
It will be great if we can have:
-Customer status message with the selectable icon to indicate busy or away.
-Better font support, font seems very messy on current version on both user side.
-Allow customer alert sound to certain group.
-Allow user to upload custom emoticon to server or download them, given as option.
-UI Style is important.
-Allow to set timer to do certain task to certain user. eg. set timer to say happy birthday to selected user.
-Improve the ink function, eg.add in drop fill.
-Increase message character limits.
-Allow to disable Nudge when appear online, if can set to specific user/group would be nice.
-Auto reply
-Improve custom emoticon shortcut key. eg. two different emoticon with shortcut key /haha and /hahaha, the /hahaha will not be shown, pls improve the shortcut.
-Increase the shortcut key limits for the custom emoticon.
-If possible, add in emoticon creator/convertor, allow user to open an image file and convert to emoticon, so that the size and visibility of the icon is just as perfect as default icon.
-Allow custome made animated display picture with emoticon integrated with message. Eg. Just like those paid display picture, meego (get rid of that).
-Allow slideshow display picture (special folder for the slideshow)
November 30th, 2006 at 7:43 am
I have not really said anything but I would like: I want to see multi-packet messaging on the clIent side… currently the user can only send “X” amount of characters…however bigger messages are supported by the protocol (soon to be MSNP15)-if the client was smart and could detect if the message was spam and stop the user sending such a large message and apply a limit would be cool. it would definitely be a big benefit for those who woul use it correctly.
Also better font controlls would be great (i.e. better color choices the ones we got now are |-)

December 4th, 2006 at 2:04 am
Take Windows Messager 4.7, revamp the interface (native theme support), add AIM interoperability, tabbed chats, better file transfer system, more than 2 people during voice/video chats and leave out winks, nudges and backgrounds.
December 4th, 2006 at 1:56 pm
return to me the ability to view contacts avatars in the contact list as was possible in 7.5!! Also tabbed conversations would be awesome. Learn some tricks from Gaim people!
December 4th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
Perhaps MSN should first work on making the current version work before they move on to the next version.
December 4th, 2006 at 11:48 pm
I agree with mike 100%. Have live work, leave it out for a couple of months, and maybe create a new version. Or wait for pointless vista to come out, then make one.
December 5th, 2006 at 4:03 pm
AIM/ICQ!!!!! PLEASE! I hate AIM but still have a ton of contacts on that network.
December 5th, 2006 at 11:16 pm
what i would like to see and im sure everyone else would like to see is the ability to save display pictures, bigger emoticons, the ability to make it your own, dont get me wrong but i think that todays version of msn messenger does have alot of that stuff, however some things e.g. contacts, display name, personal message, have high standards but also lack in some areas, by allowing personal emoticons to be used in the name, etc. if you could maybe think outside the square of just being an instant messaging service and thinking, what if we made it, not only an instant messaging service but a damn good service to help people and let people do what they want to it, well thats just my way to look at it, thanks ,, add me if u want
December 6th, 2006 at 6:24 am
–>Currently version of emoticons cannot be transferred from one PC to another. That should be allowed so that icons are not lost when pc is changed. Preferable icons saved according to user name.
–> current version of Live Messenger is unstable. It hangs every now and then a few times a day esp i noticed, when im typing and the other party is also sending a msg..
December 6th, 2006 at 10:41 am
A good idea would be to have
-An easy to see Download bar. ie. similar to the one used in the default “messenger” provided with windows.
-The ability to change where a picture sits inside the display picture area so there is no need to edit the pic because it is a bad size, or you only one part showing.
December 10th, 2006 at 6:37 am
Vivien,
Regarding your first comment, emoticons can be transferred or backed up. Just copy and paste the entire folder in:
C:\document and settings\[user name]\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
December 11th, 2006 at 7:11 am
I want these:
- When somebody deletes you from their list, show a dialog asking if you want to delete that user from your list.
- File transfer resume.
December 11th, 2006 at 9:46 am
You mentioned nothing about the voice communication, which I think is the biggest deal.
- Allow more than two people to connect on a voice call. This is #1.
- Allow encrypted communication.
- Allow offline voice messages.
- Further optimize the bandwidth useage for voice calls.
- Keep driving down costs for PC-to-phone calls.
- Keep pushing for interop in the IM world (voice included).

Please add an item to block groups not only block individual.
for instance, in work hrs, I don’t want to talk with friends, however, off work hrs, I don’t want to talk with co-workers.Please add an item to block groups not only block individual.

I would really like to be able to leave my own personalized status, instead of the boring “away” “busy” etc. Other messengers have had this feature for years and it is an attractive feature too many! If there is a way to do this and I have missed it, I would most welcome the information on how to do this. Thank You3

i wont to sign in on my account then on my friends account on the same window without having to sign out of my account. This would be helpful for when they come over.

It would be a great idea to be able to turn emotions on or off to stop people sending things that are hard to read.
thanks Josh

missing Features :
The goal is to have “all in one” communication center.
- Possibility to buy a phone number, like in Skype. (Very important feature)
- Possibility to have a voicemail, like in Skype.
- Possibility to forward call to a cell phone.
- Possibility to have conference call, like in Skype.
- The conversation log should be saved on the server. (to have history access anywhere, and backup when you change your computer)
- The personalized emoticons should be saved on the server (to have history access anywhere, and backup when you change your computer.
- Personalized Status.

I would like to see a lite Vista designed theme, a small app that runs quickly, not one of those lite apps that are so lite they are not even usable and they are meant for users who disable unwanted features, but a lite app that is a bit bigger than a Windows Sidebar gadget and has a unique touch to it, Windows Photo Gallery for example has a black bar below the titlebar and makes the app complete, I want to see that on it too, and maybe a flare somewhere in the theme too but this time it can be a bit hidden but still there, and maybe you can adjust the titlebar to make it a bit smaller, maybe a glass border around the window would be nice, because its better than having no glass at all or too much of it. I also would like it to be elegant like Windows Meeting Space is. I would like to see Windows Vista’s features be used by Windows Live Messenger, maybe Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger could have a new feature, maybe one of Windows Vista’s features could help out with Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger having sharing folders but with more features, maybe offline messaging can be better, maybe Windows Search could be better with having something to do with offline messaging!

Please, I wish only for a best integration with WLMDesktop and more stability when sending rich mails (with so much emoticons and other metacontent).

Windows Sidebar Integration is a must.
The side bar is currently tossed onto my second monitor along with my contact list. Both take up a sizable amount of screen real estate and I’m sure it must be death for the single monitor user. One has to go in that case.
Now I love both programs. And I’d love to see some integration between the two. There is infact someone attempting to do it: cener.co.uk/blogs/tom/archive/2006/11/11/windows-live-messenger-gadget-beta-download-00010-public-beta.aspx
Very aesthetically appealing for sure, but, at the moment it’s lacking in functionality and responsiveness.
Secondly, while it may alienate the non-Vista Premium users, I’d LOVE to see some Aero glass styling in there. You guys just have to find a way to pamper us premium users and still accommodate for the little guy. Please? Pretty Please?
