It's work on integrating Windows Messenger with the Adress Book, which allows for unified contact management across the system. This way contacts can be entirely cross-referenced and centralized.

It's also known as auto-complete, and it's useful to speed up typing names, etc.

Like a vCard. See "Unified Contacts" above.

Or you can rename contacts with nonsensical screenames to their actual name, which makes keeping track of who you're talking to much easier.

It's a pretty popular feature of ICQ, which has been around since, oh, 1996. I'd say it's a pretty popular feature (AIM doesn't have it because after the AOL buyout of Mirabilis the ICQ and AIM protocols were merged, so technically it does have it). It's a neat feature when you're trying to finish a conversation when someone drops offline, or if you want to leave someone a message to get in contact with you when they get online.

* !Conversations While Appearing Offline Which you'd do why?[/quote]
So that you can appear offline to everyone on your contact list and have a conversation with only a single person or two. Useful when you don't feel like having to deal with a bunch of other people messaging you or when you don't want people to know you're online (temporarily avoiding someone, etc).
