Yeah I like the new features. They have stolen all the goodies from MSN, Hello and Skype :). But 6.0 used around 9M RAM, this uses around 34-50

oh oh oh wait a minute…
MSN Messenger 7 winks were taken from Y! Messenger 6 ’s Audibles
MSN Messenger 7 nudges were taken from Y! Messenger 5’s Buzz
MSN Messenger 7 Backrounds were taken from Y! Messenger 6’s IMvirronments
The only thing is that…MSN is such a piece of crap that it can only target teenagers…

I agree completly with you and I had a lot of debates on this. The fact that Yahoo took the best from the others doesn’t mean that it is called stealing. It has been done with original code.
I LOVE the fact that they listen to the public and offered a new product. I don’t want to use Hello for IM with pics+MSN to have cards etc. I want an all in one
