MSN Messenger!!!???

[swytch]

So i hardly use MSN messenger, and i have only a few people on my list but it seems everytime i log into this shit NOBODY is online.
Which is hard to believe.

Test this shit - PaulD@vcmg.net (MSN handle)

you need 500+ contacts.

/trying to win this pissing contest.

[swytch]

since when did this become a pissing contest. I think Windows Messenger is garbage. Never works, transfers are slow.

Well Windows Messenger does suck, but you said MSN. To note, they are both different from Live Messenger. yes, I know I'm being pedantic.

I think Jabber should win. Screw these proprietary systems and their over-bloated features and crap.

^^^ Ah, they've tried, but there ARE people still on Windows Messenger - I suppose there's many quite content on MSN too.

i hate to jump in here.. but file transfer?? MSN??? Sure it can do it but.. thats not what its meant for. Its meant purely to keep in contact with people, and to enable them to talk to people easily and quickly. No more.

Well it's the natural upgrade...MSN Messenger 7.x upgrades to Windows Live Messenger at 8.x.

Yahoo is big throughout at least parts of Europe I think [a lot in the East, from what I know.]

There was a map someone made that shows these things... but I can't find it ATM :(
