MSN Messenger beta

I'm sort of ashamed to admit it, but I use Windows Messenger quite a little bit. Some people hate it, and Mrs Mawoo just can't see the point of it when I have not one, but two phones at my disposal.

however, one of the things that really bugs me about Windows Messenger looks lkike it's being sorted out in MSN Messenger beta. Finally I can sign in to Messenger without anyone knowing, and set my status beforehand.

I know it'll take a little while before it propagates down to the embedded windows version of Messenger (no matter how similar they are, I don't really want to install the MSN version). But still, it'll be nice. (Pinched from Mike Gunderloy)
