Everybody wants to be on Facebook and it’s enough reason for developers to create apps or any programs to integrate it with.
Is this for Windows 7 client only? Really looks good. I will definitely have this as soon as I have Windows 7 in my PC.

If you have Silverlight 4 install in your XP then it will work there. No problem at all for me during testing.
