Comments on: A new version of Windows Live Messenger http://www.richardshih.com/blog/2009/10/11/a-new-version-of-windows-live-messenger/ A new beginning as I enter the world of software engineering, while not forgetting my passions of photography, food, and travel.

I guess you have to consider the demographic and other factors - like how the users of WLM don't actively upgrade unless forced to (I know of a lot of people that put off downloading v14). My main issue with the upgrade process is that it's not simple - clicking download downloads and runs the downloader / installer for the suite and not just for WLM. Things are going well. I haven't updated the About statement to reflect my current position, but glad you like it. Hope things are going swimmingly with the next version of Windows Live.
