Feature Request

When are MS going to stop being conservative with new features on messenger??

I want my display picture to change in sync with the album cover of the song
i'm listening to in Windows media player. Is that too much to ask?

Why can't I also type what I'm actually doing rather than being limited to
Out to lunch, Away, Appear offline etc. I want answers

A personalized status is indeed a feature I would like to see in the next
version of WLM. However, for the time being Messenger Plus! Live can do this
for you. I'm going to push this during the next beta phase for sure! Also,
with the album art for the song you're playing that is also a good idea but
isn't something that is high priority, as far as how many users want this
feature.

You know what, I think, and I would need to check, that this could
possibly be done with the current APIs that are available... Hmmm, I
smell a mini project coming...
