bloated, resource hog and pointless, especially with trillian out there abl;e to connect to all of them. Never had windows live or MSN on my computer and not about to start now.

I tried Trillian a couple years ago but from what I remember Msn smileys didn't work so I uninstalled it. Have they fixed that?

Sounds like I'll wait a bit.

Trilian doesnt support custom emotes - /FAIL

The new WLM is truly horrible, so are the emotes.

This thing is a nightmare. I installed the Beta. It crashed. It wouldn't uninstall properly so the new one won't install.

I've given up on the programmers at Microsoft, They're not up to the standards of the last bunch of coders.

I now use Zimbra and Picassa and am quite satisfied.

Or voice chat right? I just want a no fuss voice chat that isn't as stripped down as Skype is. Live used to be great but their last version messed up Voice chat on a few netbooks.
