There is a problem and it really bugs me and my friends. Windows live Messenger is not so user friendly when it comes to messaging on messenger and browsing the internet. It is really annoying and very aggrevating because i must always scan my taskbar then goto the person i need to talk too, but i have many friends that i talk to and this gets annoying. There must be a simple fix such as creating a sidebar when logged in because usability is important and as of now this is problematic and very annoying some feedback threads http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3794-windows-live-messenger-taskbar-notification-icon.html
