| Has anyone here tried out the public MSN messenger 7 which was released a few days ago on Microsoft's site? It has an improved UI but keeps disconnecting. Version 6 was compatible with my router/NAT but maybe this is an updated protocol/uses different ports. |

I'm using Windows Messenger and not MSN Messenger. WAY better IMHO. MSN Messenger has annoying popups and BS that drive me to bloodlust.  I don't install spyware, adware, or other junkware, and I'm not going to start installing MS BSware either. I have no plans to find out how MS can further piss me off with more popup crap with MSN 7. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I don't get one single popup in msn 7, the only add is at the bottom of the main window which I don't mind as I barely ever have it open. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

The last version I used was Korean, and it was, in the immortal words
of Dark Helmet, "dumb". Lots of popups and junk. Extremely frustrating
when you are trying to make complex selections in something like Excel
then it loses focus and you have to start over. I suppose Korean users
have a higher BS threshold. I haven't installed even the English one
since. Perhaps if my irrational anger and hatred subsides, I may
install it again. Post more praise for v7. It may calm me down a bit.  ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |
