Hi Jack,
Unfortunately due to the way Windows Messenger works, there isn't a way for Plus to rename
the contact.
Also, the Windows Messenger team no longer exists, so don't hold out for an upgrade that's
never going to come. Although the next version of Messenger is called Windows Live
Messenger, it's simply MSN Messenger renamed.
