Live Mesh is still a confused and confusing mix of peer-to-peer sync, cloud sync, and remote desktop access. The system can be subverted easily enough, of course there's nothing to compel the use of an accurate and honest first name/last name pair. It's a move that has been unpopular with many long-time Messenger users the ability to create "screen names" is a long-standing feature of instant messaging, and its removal, especially for those not interested in social networking features, is felt to be something of a privacy violation. Facebook and LinkedIn, in particular, use real names the abandonment of nicknames and use of real names within Messenger is a reflection of this. The loss of nicknames is a result of the social integration. The distaste is exacerbated by the fact that the new video calling appears to place considerably greater demands on my processor than the old webcam feature, enough to cause noticeable slow-downs. As such, it seems a bitter pill to swallow. I don't doubt that HD video calling works, but I don't have the hardware to use it nor does anyone on my contact list (though Microsoft's HD webcam does look appealing). Microsoft claims that the webcam features were ditched as part of the development of HD video calling. Messenger has lost widely-used features like one-way webcam chats, the ability to hide that you have a webcam installed (especially popular among teenagers and children, who might want to use their camera but don't want to advertise that they have one), and the ability to have nicknames. Unfortunately, criticisms leveled at those products in the beta are just as valid in the final version. The positives are much the same now as they were then Messenger's social integration works well, its Facebook chat is useful, and its tabbed chats extremely welcome, if overdue. We've already had a detailed look at Messenger and Live Mesh (which at the time was called Live Sync).
