Just watched this on Charlie Owens blog.
This is a tour of Windows Vista Media Centre (code name Diamond). I have to say that I'm mildly impressed but I believe that with "consumer" grade products like this (and by consumer grade I mean ready for Joe Public - no computer science degree required to operate) the proof is in the long term experience with the product; i.e does it become indispensible or did you get frustrated with it because of stability/reliability issues? "Eye-candy" stuff is great but if it forgets to record a TV program it will get the boot! I've been pleased with MCE2005 so working on the assumption this will be a "better" product I hope this will become a truely indispensible integral part of my home.
Great video though demonstrating the features and improvements and I can't wait to get some long term experience with it myself. I'm holding off buying a new media centre PC until "Diamond" is released.

I am having difficulty to handle users who add my bot Id.it does appear in reverseList ,even in Forward List(FL) if I call AddContact() method.My bot client doesnt get notified about new message sent by a user.
there is an option of Notify "DotMSN.MSNNotifyPrivacy.AutomaticAdd"
But I dont know how to add it.Can you guide me ?
Thanks

So once you have your main dotMSN messenger object you need to wire up the ConversationCreated handler.
You should do this only once
_messenger.ConversationCreated += new ConversationCreatedHandler(Messenger_ConversationCreated);
Then inside this event handler you need to wire up the new conversations “message received” handler. This will fire every time a contact opens a message window and types a message to the bot
private void Messenger_ConversationCreated(DotMSN.Messenger sender, ConversationEventArgs e)
{
e.Conversation.MessageReceived += new DotMSN.Conversation.MessageReceivedHandler(Conversation_MessageReceived);
}
Then finally this event handler is where you will get the message text from your contact. Use the sender.SendMessage method to send any text back to the contact, in the example below it simple returns the message they sent to the bot. This will fire for every message sent by the contact.
private void Conversation_MessageReceived(Conversation sender, MessageEventArgs e)
{
// this will send a message back to the sender
sender.SendMessage(string.format(“Thanks for your message of: {0}”, e.Message.Text));
}
