Eldmannen Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 MSN Messenger is a funny piece of software. It somehow keeps on getting worse and worse for every new version. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 MSN Messenger is a funny piece of software. It somehow keeps on getting worse and worse for every new version. Amazing! Just the opposite with WLM, it got a lot better. I beta tested it since the start and it has changed a great deal. Link to a topic about the older betas.

Tarun Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Oh, thought WLM was MSN renamed... Technically, WLM is MSN8; they just changed a LOT of things in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 They did change a lot. I love this one. I have been using this since the first beta as well, and I love it. It's my favortie Messenger. I only use AIM, Yahoo, WLM, and Trillian. Out of all of them I like WLM the most.

I only use AIM, Yahoo, WLM, and Trillian. Out of all of them I like WLM the most. I find it rather silly to use 3-4 different instant messengers. Especially since they tend to be big and bloaty. A better idea would be to just use one multi-protocol messenger such as Miranda IM, Gaim, Trillian, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS3 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 those multi-protocol messengers may not have those features that the user would like to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like PS3 said, Triallian doesn't have any features and I use all of the features. Also, the programs are bloated, but I am using less than 30% of my disk space so it doesn't hurt me to use that actual versions.

kobrakommander56 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 i dont trust msn, or w/e the hell they are calling it these days, and i will stick with trillian, i dont need the extra features or any of those bells and whistles. I feel that sticking with this third party is better in the long run. ( I might sound like im attacking your post krit86lr but im not lol) Insert random C4 joke here.

PS3 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 i stick with my trillian. thats ok. you can use what you wish. whatever suits the individual, then its more likely that program will be used. i thought it would be good to tell those excited msn messenger users that a new version is out and ready to be downloaded.
