MSN Live Messenger 2011
 

Just got an "important" update message on my work computer. Boy was that a mistake to update. The new msn live messenger, what do you guys think?

I personally am loathing it. They no longer have one way video. Your nickname changed only online and done in a First Name, Last name basis. Your display pic is also changed online. They keep a record of your taglines.

Sorry wtf?! Girl does not approve.


...might like it later since I just got it 20 minutes ago. Unlikely though.

It's essentially a program based facebook now.

I think yeah, that they're trying to combine features people like in facebook and twitter.

I've gone to using Skype for most of my online messanging cause I don't like the new MSN either.

Why are people trying so hard to be Facebook? Shit, MSN messenger had stuff going for them, I was on it for a reason!! Why change a good thing into a mediocre wannabe?

I'm officially pissed cuz they changed the old emoticons... :(

/rant....for now

i havent use msn for almost year and half...

i was a everyday user before and somehow i just got so busy and log in as invisible and slowly i dont even bother open the program up

the feeling is great lol

Skype > MSN!

hmm.. i like skype but not many of my friends use it.

I personally love the whole "appear online" to certain people one-by-one while you're appearing offline. That's the only new feature I like compared to the old version.

But yeah, I totally agree how a lot of changes seem inferior to the previous versions. I mean, the whole display name firstname+lastname bit is pretty ridiculous, for starters. As for the mandatory two-way video instead of having the option of one-way feeds.... well good thing I use Skype for that. MSN-M is merely for chatting with my friends who actually still use it. Skype is pretty much superior in almost every way in comparison.

Appearing online selectively was available in the old ICQ days, I don't know why it disappeared for so long. It IS a handy feature.

But yeah. Go Skype Go.

I barely use MSN now too. I've only started using it again but not really.

It's been around a year and a half I think since I was on MSN all the time. Now I use Skype for all of my online messaging.

Everyone should migrate to skype ;). I like being able to make groups and being able to stay in the group convo even if you close it.

This thing is bloated as fuck. A lot of tech message boards are recommending Trillian 5 and it looks pretty good actually. Really minimalist and lightweight.

bag of shit
msn ftl

i just unchecked on all the new features and make it into the old MSN. I dun have enough friends anyways.

msn has changed too much. I agree people should switch to skype its so much better

Adium on the Mac enhances my MSN Messenger experience sooooo much.

You can redownload the old msn if you wanted to. Thats what I did. Version 2009 Build 14.

I system restored that bitch within 5 minutes

i wanna downgrade =(

Which site is reliable to dl Version 2009 Build 14. Other sites seem so sketchy,

I like the new MSN. I don't like the new interface, but luckily it can be easily switched. Also, I fucking HATE the way it intercepts URLs with a warning page.

http://www.mess.be/

they have all versions of msn available on their site.

downloaded 2011 and it was absolutely horrible filled with bugs


the hell with it uninstall and installed back the 2008 version

WTF. i MUST upgrade to the piece of shit after installing 2009 one.

I hated it at first, but grew to like it!

BBM killed msn for me

I tried mess.be but it looks like the site's dead now. None of the links work properly. Checked the forum and a lot of the posts are from 2008.

Kind of a shame since they used to be popular though the site was never very good in terms of layout.

Here's a guide to uninstall and where to download older versions that will work:
