Hate it. Even 6 is bad enough, so they've just put in more "cute" stuff to add to the already hundreds of flaws and security threats.

I've been enjoying the BETA for a while now.

What's the diff between them? I just like the giant smileys that take over the screen and the nudge button.







And I just wanted an excuse to use this... :

Just the usual little bits and pieces. It displays everyones avatar on the actual contact list, shows others what ur listening to, etc.

More added junk which appeals mostly to 13-year-olds.

I use Windows Messenger 4.7

It comes with XP and I've never bothered to download. Well, 4.7 doesn't come with XP, 4.5 or something does, then it auto-updates.

The stupid thing about this is that MSN 5+ don't replace this so you end up with both "Windows Messenger" and "MSN Messenger" installed leading to all kinds of wierd b0rkage. It wouldn't have been hard for them to simply have 5 and up replace the 4.x versions already present but I guess that's MS for you...

Well that's great, it won't let me open my inbox in Firefox. Back to 6.whatever, I fail to see one feature I need in 7. Infact, I fail to see anything but avatars shown on the main list (not all work anyway), more ads for crap I don't need, stupid recolour of everything and the trademark of a microsoft update; it runs slower.

Messenger plus might let you I dont know, I use it to check my pop email, either way MSN will probably force you to use 7 or cannot sign in.

In other news there is already a vulnerability on 7, patch is due on what they call 'Patch Tuesday'

Ahh, so it is possible to have Messenger Open your Hotmail Box in Firefox? I can only ever get it to use IE, and its the only reason i still have it installed.
