    Hey .

    1month ago i was using msn 7.5 and i was so happy because it's fast and contain all features that i need !

    But this days when i wanna log to my account they force me to update to the 8.0 version , if i choose no for the update i can't login to my account .

    the 8.0 run slow for me and block activities of my laptop when openning and use the sharing feature that i dont like at all !

    ( Sorry for my bad english cauz im from france )

    First step: stop using windows

    buy a mac, install OS X, problem solved.

    switching to a Mac saved me a LOT of headaches from Wind0ze.

    i know what you mean, i switched away from yahoo messenger and went to yahoo - yahoo allows you to use your msn contacts so you do not loose any of your friends and they can still be in msn while you are not :)

    They are supposedly working on a new version of Live Messenger, which is still in beta.

    no to mac!

    but i think if your lagging because of msn starting up you might need to upgrade some ram or buy a new computer.

    Yeah, if your computer cannot run MSN... then you need to do something about it. Hardly a demanding program.
