Rep Power: 0 | I used to get on these a lot. I've had them all, but MSN is my favorite.
But now I'd rather just be left alone. It's almost more of an annoyance now lol | |

Rep Power: 3 | I use Yahoo mainly, if anything.. Video/cam/audio seems to work better for me in Yahoo than MSN. Dunno why...
I just downloaded the latest MSN beta tho (wasn't all that impressed)..

Rep Power: 0 | I don't really use instant messagers much but when I do I always use MSN messenger, for the simple reason it is the one that is most widely used. I think that any other company would struggle to compete.
