Ive been using AIM for over 6 years.
I jusr started using YIM for the past two weeks to get in contact with Softpedia people.

So I know my way in and out of AIM...and i have a good feel for the YIM interface, though im still learning my way around it.

But I must say...MSN is mighty impressive.

At first i was very much against it.
The Windows Messenger with Windows XP made me negative....mostly.

Now i can see where Trillian gets most of its inspiration. Im quite impressed. I have a lot more to do with MSN as I just started using it today to talk to someone.

The only thing that is holding this network back, like Yahoo, like Jabber, etc. is that its nowhere as populated as the AIM network, especially in the USA.
Because of all the people on AOL in the USA, AOL is the network of choice among causal computer users, and therefore this program and the network is pointless when it comes to contacting family members, friends or random people you meet on the web.
I just dont see those people who use AOL/AIM changing to MSN or Yahoo anytime soon. Its unfortunate but true, because MSN is such a neat program.

Oh well...ill still use it to talk to this new person i met...

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The login is quite fast unlike the one on the other comp. I posted dude1000000.

It's fantastic, only 1 thing to say, i can't download it here so i downloaded the same thing at msgshit.com. everything is great exept for the login. takes about 20 seconds!!!

crashes immediately... this beta version stays alive for 5 minutes then stops responding.

Well, I think that MSN Messenger 7.0.0604 is a load of crap. Mesleepnow now no longer has a Hotmail account because a hacker got in and changed the password. This is because 7.0.0604 has no proper security cos it's not an official copy- so that'll serve Mesleepnow and the rest of you right for not using the proper software!

I'll just stick to my official MSN Messenger 7 Beta for now, ta.

New beta is excellent. The patches to get rid of the ads are are a great idea, looks very easy-on-the-eye and user friendly, and the file-sharing problem i experienced with the previous beta has now been corrected.

Cant wait for the final release!!!

I really like it and so do all my friends it works awesome.
Exquire from New Zealand... WOW! It's a free service and should be fun, smile be happy life is too short to waste it typing out so much negative dribble, best wishes to you

I can see where this program is going to annoy a lot of adult users. I am sure a younger generation will be thrilled with all the annoying extras such as sending kisses, vibrations, etc, but for myself I could well do without these little toys of a bothersome nature. I would also have liked the block feature to have remained as it was. With the new method of a small symble beside the online pal, it isn't easy to see at fast glance who can see you and who can't. Overall, I like the look, and so far so good. Would be nice if you could block others from sending the annoying toys your way though.

Wow I love this new Msn messenger! the best thing is the INK option where you can HANDWRITE and paint! AND YOU CAN SGIN IN AS OFF LINE!!! VERY USEFULL all in all its LOTS OF FUN and I had NO PROBLEMS WITH THE beta IT WORKS FAB

it shgould actually tell you how to download msn 7.0!!!!!

If there's a single company that doesn't get it, it's Microsoft.

However, they're another one of the corporations that bow down and kiss my feet, so eventually they brown-nosed me into reviewing the latest tripe to spill from the offices of MSN.

Messenger 7 beta: Doing all the things you didn't want and more.

I remember a day when smilies were used to communicate how you felt. No honestly, there was a day like that once.

Now, in MSN 7, there are three smilies in the formatting window. One for smilies, one for "winks" and one for no reason other than annoying the person you're talking to.

That's not a lie - there's a button that vibrates their chat window and makes a noise. Virus writers, pay attention to Microsoft's understanding of how to infuriate people.

Er, no, that is all that feature does. It's called a nudge. With my sound system, it's like strangling me to get my attention.

"Winks" are a new, more annoying and bandwidth heavy piece of arse that don't aid communication. They're little flash animations that play in your friend's chat window. I know.

I am investigating the possibilities of putting multiple flash animations in your display name. I’m so cool, my display name needs animation.

As if Messenger needed to take more RAM, it does. And you got it, winks will toast your CPU too. Madness for a product claiming to be more friendly for tablet users - this will only drain battery faster. You guessed it, can't turn it off.

In there for tablet PCs is that you can handwrite messages to people. Haven't you been sitting there, talking on MSN, and wished you could draw stuff with your mouse and send it to one user at a time? I found that drawing penises and sending them to impressionables was all this tool was good for. Before long there'll be a deluge of imbeciles drawing out "wots up how r u" and vibrating your windows, because that's the way to make friends. Mark my words.

Right from when you start MSN 7 you know it’s gunna be bad. More space in the parent window is taken by the ad', the top-bar that indicates your status, and the side tabs. In other words, the most useless bits of messenger are now bigger. Now that's efficient screen real estate (Actually it isn't, this is a sarcastic remark).

WAIT YOU CAN CUSTOMISE YOUR SIDE TABS! Oh, by selecting what order they appear in. I want this ad’ above this ad’, and MSN Personals (by Match.com) at the top, because I’m not even single.

You know how you can click on the bottom of MSN chat windows to select them again, and how you always do? (It's the best place to click). Now you can't. There's a link there that reads "customize MSN Messenger". When I set up Windows I told it I was from New Zealand. I told it I spoke New Zealand English. I have told Microsoft countless times that I speak the English that the English made. One more piece of American spelling and I'm gunna flip. It’s “Customise”.

That link opens an Explorer window (WTF? Firefox is my default browser) and takes you to somewhere you can download winks, smilies, and tasteless backgrounds. I clicked on it to customize MSN by taking away the shit. No-can-do.

Brooke Richardson, lead manager of MSN communication services said when releasing their blogging tool the other day, "We wanted to introduce it to a more mainstream audience and show them it can be about more than just blogging."

This thinking is flawed in a dangerous way. To me it reads "bloating out the way people keep in touch is better than just keeping in touch". MSN 7 embodies this, on its general release (and no doubt forced upgrade) the Internet, and talking to people, will be worse.

Google, hurry the hell up.

But I have this auto update problem as well and the link Eagles posted does nothing for me since it redirects me to an german site

Its a BETA prog, there are going to be bugs, do not expect it to work 1st time, or reliable, thats why its beta, its for testing it is not final relase.

its very good

Is it impossible to sign in in MSN Messenger 7 ??I guess so, because I tried several times (more than 15) and the following message keeps on appearing:
" Sorry, we were enable to sign you in in the .MSN Messenger Service at this time. Please try again later. 80072efd "
After waiting almost 10 minutes for the program download, and for it's upgrade, this was not a good surprise...the Rating is Poor (should be "I don't know") because I still haven't the chance to know MSN Msg7...

No Danish l

it's good

This program is better, which means it isnt perfect. Msgplus DOES NOT work on this version. Norton 2005 has fits when using it and its slow. A lot of features are lacking and a lot of bugs. Ive tried this, but switched back to v6.3 as its more easier.

This seems to work for disabling AUTO UPDATE...
