WLM - Slow initial load !?

Problems I find: (WLM 8.0.0365)
  • Worst, its initial load time! My YM takes 6 secs (298 pals on my list), ICQ takes 13 secs (404 pals), PalTalk takes 10 secs (159 pals) ...... and WLM takes *40* secs, despite my having only 117 on that list. :-(
  • WLM doesn't "remember" my choice of Contact Card Picture OR my Personal Message from session to session. It seems to just pop up a fresh "random"pic for me each time.
  • MS STILL doesn't follow the industry standard of using "my default browser" - it seems I.E. rules, regardless of what the USER might have set.
And finally, I hope they settle on a CONSISTENT name sometime - it is nonsensical these days for anyone to produce a program that heads itself "Messenger 8.0 Beta".
