| I think theyre those damn new animated graphics in MSN Messenger 7.
Having installed the beta, that was a format c: job to remove the memory of that one; & back to Windows Messenger.
I can't stand IM at the best of times, but MSN messenger has just become a bloated, unattractive, marketing centric, abhorrent kids toy.
What makes you think I don't like it?

The things we do for friends ... 
For the records, I use Trillian since a few years back!  ... C:Amie and PS can attest to that ... especially PS, since it made me invisible to him for awhile ... |

| Try GAIM
gaim.sourceforge.net
It's compatible with a huge load of IM protocols (AIM/ICQ, Y!, MSN, Jabber, etc), it's free (as in speech & as in beer) supports file transfers and has many other nice features. it runs on Linux and Windows |

| Lemme advertise comonex here: IRC!
I like the original versions of AIM, like version 2.0 for my 720 is satisfactory.
On my pc, I use gaim or naim (which is so cool to use! ) |

I tried it the other day ... its kinda raw ... 
Trillian also supports these protocols. ... and its nicer. ... ok ok, I prefer polished products ...   |

| Well, like it or not, Microsoft has done it again. I believe MSN Messenger is the fastest growing IM client. Even tho I do not use IM on my SmartBook much, if I had to use one suddenly, it's just too convenient to launch the built-in Windows Messenger, compared to setting up some other software that might even not work.
BTW, as I put in my sig, I didn't start this thread... But is it too coincidental that thread id 999 is about Winks? |
