    BoB just brought up a lot of valid points on why MSN sucks. I don't get why everyone chose it

    As for being afraid of change, Y!M would have been the way to go, there. Its barely evolved since its inception. MSN has gone through numerous complete overhauls. Even changing which side of the screen display pictures and buttons are on. I haven't followed AIM, but I only know of one major over-haul. They may have done two. But after Y!M its probably still the lease renovated

    Never used Skype, but if I get back into video chatting, I'll have to keep that in mind. 'Cause Yahoo blew chunks for that and MSN isn't that much better at it

    It's what they're used to and a buttload of people use it because they don't know anything else and if they do know something else then they aren't familiar enough with it. It's the same reason I prefer Windows to Linux and IE to Firefox.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    That's also how I talk to you, but that's because I have to use it.

    AIM is also ugly and bloated, although that hasn’t always been the case. I much preferred its earlier, simple manifestation, back when MSN was too ugly and bloated to even run on the computer I had at the time.
    Yes, I know about that, and no, I’m not going to download it.

    10 windows? Let's not go nuts with the self glorification there, you need to have 10 contacts first /smug

    ((I'm really enjoying that face. It opens up whole new avenues of conversation!!))

    I think everyone has their preferences and often these preferences are steeped in tradition. I remember my first experience 10+ years ago with Y!M, then learning that lots of the internet including many EoFFers used MSN so I switched. Then it seems like everyone in college used AIM. I still have my gmail attached to my AIM in case I need it, but somehow Skype has now become my weapon of choice. I have used it forever for video chat and international calling, but now the friendlist I've built and their cumulative time spent online means Skype is the easiest way for me to get in touch with people.

    Its sad to hear AIM ruined their smileys. MSN used to have really good smileys. Second only to AIM. But they ruined theirs long ago. At the time Yahoo were the worst. Its weird to hear that they're now the best. Yet another reason to never upgrade AIM. Too bad MSN forces you to be no less than like 2 versions behind, otherwise they block your connection until you upgrade. Bull (incidentally, Yahoo does something similar. Also bull. In this regard, AIM wins again)
