there s a reason why it s a preview version i don t think the messenger team are magicians who could just code an entire instant messaging application with all your requests in just 3 mos. cut them some slack. fine people waited for 332 days, so what? the guys in the team worked on the application for a longer time. yahoo said it was coming yeah.. but they never mentioned when.. so people don t have to complain. :)) but anyway that s most people do.
