Am I the only one that thinks those "contactcards" as found in WLM are
sign of a bad GUI-design ?  Do we still want to profilate us as a pure
clone ?

I for one would like to see it differently implemented in aMSN.  I
made a mockup of what I thought that could be done.  My mockup would
make it very easy for ppl that were used to WLM too as the control to
open the ccard functionality was on the same place in teh UI.

Anyway,  if I'm the only one in this corner you don't have to listen
to waht I said as I don't feel like implementing it all myself either
:)  I'd rather see something implemented that is not my taste then
nothing :)
