On to MSN.
For those who still IM me, you'd know that my default IM is still ICQ (btw, ICQ has a new IM call ComPad, but currently only available for registration if you do not live on this planet - I mean, they block registrations from: Israel, Vatican, Italy, Germany, Russia, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Turkey, Sweden, UK, Netherlands, Austria, Australia, Belgium and Denmark).
Where were I? Oh, MSN. Today I took the brave step in installing MSN Messenger 7.5. The UI has too many stuff that I will never use so I found it cluttering. Tabs? Don't use them. The toolbar below my e-mail & message? Don't think I'll be using them eitehr. I like ICQ because it gets the job done. I am not interested in all the ten billion funtions that'e embedded in the application. I just want a UI that would allow me to do simple IM with my friends. Plus the fact that it has ads at the bottom of the app - there probably is some hack out there in the WWW that remove the ads. I believe I hacked my ICQ to remove its ads too - makes it not very appealing to me at the moment. However, if you'd like try IM me via MSN, it's uarzen@yahoo.com.
This concludes my rant of the day.

I'd suggest Trillian - it combines AIM, ICQ, MSN, and yahoo into a skinable interface that's really quite nice...
Oh here's a link by the way

well well... as a matter of fact i LIKE MSN messenger A LOT more - just b/c of the hundred billions icons one can use! XDDDD icq icons become a bit dull after you start using MSN :P
the only drawback is you HAVE to be ONLINE to send out msg - no such thing of "invisible/visible" list...
Have you checked out MSN's Blog? Layout is quite nice indeed (like the scrolling picts frame)... but still ain't GOOD enough for me to swift from blogger to them :P
I like icq better, coz most of my friends and family members use icq (even my mom uses icq!!). Jasper is way on track - with MSN, you can't send offline message. My primary IM tool is still icq, then MSN, then Yahoo IM. However, I also use my cell phone to send SMS, which is convenient coz no one is always in front of the PC. I can do MSN on my cell, it's just too painful to 'type' a message.
sorry this is just a reply to cw's - I'll be BROKE if i rely all my IM w/ SMS - althought that's what i prefer - yet it just COST A FORTUNE for someone like me
*ROFL*
my MSN ~ ICQ now :P
