It's got a new colourful interface as well, looks gay to me, but i think its cause they want to integrate it into the winXP colour scheme.

92987 2002-10-25 21:48:00 >>> Help us improve MSN Messenger

Errrr..... HOW??? Oh there: "Click here to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program." How do I get rid of that box so that it doesn't getted clicked behind my back? At least the "collect anonymous information about how I use ....." wasn't ticked by default.

Still, I am mighty suspicious... :O

I could kick The Girl's backside for her, downloading and installing it this morning. X-(

92988 2002-10-25 22:00:00 I'm surprised Messenger Plus!
still works with it .
Although not in the Main MSN Messenger window, only in the Chat boxes .

In my own opinion the colour scheme is rooted . So many unwanted alerts .
And advertising .
Without Plus! working in the main window it gives me advetising .

So, luckily I found the old 4 . 6 version on my HDD .

92989 2002-10-26 00:18:00 MSN - scmem ess en.

for anyone wanting something a little less bloated (like 200k download vs a ka-jillion megs for msn) try easymessage from http://www.easymessage.net
it's still a little immature, but is constantly being improved. it's compatible with msn messenger and icq too, so you can do all your messaging from one program. it's freeware.
others use trillion, I don't though. i think JM likes it...
