Wanted feature in Windows Live Messenger

There should be a possibility to disable contact with spesific groups on
different times of the day. Like this example:

Group called Friends: The members are allowed to see that I'm logged in
between 16.00 and 23.00. Outside this timespan I should appear offline to
them.
Group called Work: The members are allowed to see that I'm logged in between
08.00 and 16.00. Outside this timespan I should appear offline to them.

There should be more filtering on the group level in Windows Live Messenger.

Greetings,

This has been requested for as long as I can remember, but never seems to make it in.

I think the best solution is to use two different accounts, it would be
great if the client had support for more than one account, like pidgin
and the rest of the multi-protocol clients.

I believe the mac client have support for two accounts, but i can be wrong.
