I've just downloaded the latest version, and now when someone speaks, if they say something enter it then say something else straight away it all comes up as one big message. Same if I do it. Look's messy, is there any way of changing it back to the old way?

If your'e downloading from a third party site you need a patch to log you in - Pain in the arse, as you have to go in to Program Files every time.

I did have a third party one but now have official Windows one, still BETA though.

What don't you like? Apart from the way it displays conversations like I said above I don't mind it.

Rob, you will need to get yourself invited. They will send you a mail in 1-2 days and then you join

go here and sign up:

http://ideas.live.com/



But gmail is still better imo, well atm...it loads better and with the conversation feature, it's quite easy to go through your mails
