| 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.

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.

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.

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.

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: http://www.forumvancouver.com/thread...sion-2009.531/ | |
