This has suddenly appeared this morning with XP Messenger 5.1.0701:
Windows Live(TM) Messenger Service Staff says:
Important service announcement: Because of a recent system update, you must
change the e-mail address that you use to sign in to Windows Live(TM)
Messenger. Until you change your e-mail address, you won't be able to use
Windows Live(TM) Messenger.
To change your e-mail address and find out more about this system update, go
to http://support.microsoft.com/gp/Messenger/en
Surely this is:
a) bollocks - I'm not changing my email address
b) weird - that URL isn't even valid
I'd rather not be forced into using Live Messenger, I'm quite happy with the
built-in, adfree, low memory usage, XP one.
A colleague with a 4.x version is not getting signed in, but *isn't* seeing
the message, and another person with a slightly earlier 5.1 version is
signed in fine.
Using Windows Live Messenger *does* work though.
