Windows Messenger 5.0 vs. MSN Messenger

So, is there support for the new icons and smilies from
MSN
Messenger in Windows Messenger 5.0? Or is it only for the
people wanting to use Ink so send IMs? Does it have any
other compelling reasons for upgrading?

To answer my own post: No. And 5.0 had some bad font
problems that made me install 4.7.2009 on top of it again.
(That was the only way to uninstall Messenger 5.0, for
those who need to know later.)

I simply want an 4.7 release with smiley support, is that
too much to ask from Microsoft?

They have totally ruined the thing that made me use
Messenger in the first place: The clean, no-nonsense UI and
ease of use. MSN 6 is an insult to UI people everywhere.

Anyway, rant off.

To uninstall Windows Messenger 5.0, go to the folder

Documents and Settings - All Users - Application Data

You should see a folder named Windows Messenger or
Windows Messenger_5.0.0468. Inside the directory is a .msi
installation file. Right-mouse click on it and then choose Uninstall.

NOTE: You may have to unhide the directory for Application Data.
