As interesting as it is to have (optional) access to Live Messenger within WMC I would be more interested to see Live Messenger allow multiple points of presence (the way Skype does). Once they do this (and allow more text to be typed) I'll switch back from Skype for my messenging. I really like Live Messenger but hate being logged off each time I access another computer.

THANK GOD!! Now I can begin to consider upgrading to Windows Vista. Does it work with the "Messenger" button on the Microsoft Media Center Keyboard?

Yeah why did MS abandon WLive4TV?

It's nice that it's a option again but personally I hate this. Not because of the function but because messenger is to dumb to support multiple points of presence. Every time my turns on the xbox now it logs me off of messenger from the office computers. This is the same thing. Mostly annoying because of broken base design.
