First: I really would like messenger to have conference call like Skype.

Second: Skype figured out how to use the hover effect on contact list
thing that was in the last beta, instead of hovering over your contact
to get all the info, you click on the contact that you what to look at,
this is a much nicer behavior and quite useful.

Greetings Oscar,

1: Wouldn't be all. Someday, maybe this century. Until then, use Skype or iChat.

2: The "click" to get information is really there already (aka contact card), to be fair.
There are 3 things I want to see from each contact on my list -- their display name, psm and
their display picture (and not the small tiny size that's impossible to see). Having to click
for such information I feel is ridiculous (although I highly support less information as an
option if people want it).
