Re: Xbox 360 & Yahoo contacts

Greetings,

It probably wasn't spec'd out when they did the implementation. Only Windows Live Messenger
on Windows can actually do this. Older versions of Messenger, the Windows Mobile version,
etc. can not talk to Yahoo either. The Mac version has only recently added it.

I'd expect it to be added in the future.

messengers. I have read other postings and the connection has been down for
a bit now

Hi,

Yeah, well, it's supposed to

We'll ignore the fact that the performance and reliability of the feature leave a lot to be
desired.
