If you’re in love with Windows Live Messenger but you still can’t get along with its interface, it’s probably the time to try aMSN, a software solution specifically designed to serve as the perfect replacement for WLM.
aMSN works not only on Windows, but also on Linux and Mac OS X, but the most important thing is that it successfully replaces the original app at all chapters.
The interface is the one that doesn’t really rise up to the expectations, but the bundle of features makes you forget about any drawback.
Just as expected, you can do the same things as with Windows Live Messenger, which means you can chat with your WLM contacts but also send files, play games, view or broadcast images via webcam, send nudges, set avatar and many more.
Emoticons are still there, so are winks, so you won’t really feel that you’re not using the genuine app.
The options menu includes tons of settings that concern both the look and aMSN’s behavior, regardless if we’re talking about privacy, logging or connection.
There’s also a theme support in there, but nothing too special, although you might get to like the application much faster with some customized skins.
All in all, aMSN remains one of the best Windows Live Messenger replacements in the world and since it works so great, we don’t really see a reason to not giving it a try right now.
