You shouldn't have to patch a messenger service to make it work.

MSN works fine without patching, but if you do patch it you can make it great. Tabbed chatting, custom statuses, skins, no ads, etc.. Honestly, I'm surprised with how reliable MSN is. It's like Microsoft actually somehow managed to make something that works.

I still don't see what people are complaining about Y!M for, though. Horrible? Unreliable? How? It's more reliable for me than MSN is, that's for sure. And yes, I know how reliable MSN is because Danielle uses it. I'm assuming you're talking about connections, because I don't know any other thing that you can say is unreliable about a messenger service.
