Stupid cocknadan Microsoft. They roll out a new security patch for MSN Messenger, as a requirement to continue using MSN, you need to upgrade to v8.1 Live Messenger if you’re on older versions. Now that’s blackmail. Can’t they install patches fix for older versions too.
This Anand fella, product manager from Microsoft Messenger says “If you are using a Windows XP or later system, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t be using the latest and greatest released version of Messenger. Messenger 8.1 was released earlier this year. It the most stable and reliable version of Messenger. It also has the latest security updates”
Well screw Microsoft, don’t they know not all computers are Vista enable or equipped with high specs. When I installed the MSN upgrade, the MSN Live took alot of my PC resources. The old lady just muddles there and freeze intermittently. Oh my poor PC.
Because of this screw-up I missed my online MSN school meeting. The issue just turned me off and I kinda forget about the meeting! Hahaha. Can I get any compensation from Microsoft you think? Hehehe. Where’s a lawyer when you need one
Infact many MSN users all over the world are not happy too
- Upgrading to Messenger 8.1
- Microsoft to push mandatory Messenger upgrade
- Microsoft Mandates MSN Messenger Update
- Compulsory MSN Upgrade?!
- MSN Messenger users forced to upgrade
Its downright ridiculous I tell you.
Sometime in Dec last year, I did an upgrade of MSN to that Live program and there were just too many bugs and frequent disconnection when using it.
Somehow, you need to have a steady network connection of at least 1 mbps else the drop in network will straightaway disconnect the darn thing.
So piss off with its memory usage that I uninstall and rollback to the old Msn 7.5 :-)
The only good thing abt Msn LIVE is that you can send msn messages to offline contacts.
But then again, what’s the point of having offline messages right ?
the sad thing i cant’ use msn totally now. i could upgrade but my pc will freeze, wats the point of IM if its not instant
now i rely on web based msn
Microsoftdick mah …. what you expect? They con people one! Tell us to upgrade but the new version isn’t any better than the old one. Just ‘nicer looking’.
Speaking of which …. your desktop wallpaper …. *sesungguhnye aku berpuasa!!!* Nanti pas buka I come back and ‘study’ the pic again! :D
well when you have the majority users under you using their crap, you can pretty much blackmail them for just about anything
ahak, i can even send you the wallpaper if u want! haha
after break fast of course
wahahahhahaa…
I was just about to comment about the wallpaper also but was too caught up with the MSN issues. Hehehe
kesian nye awak nye pc… meh kita pujuk dia.. :P
keke
No wonderlah they are called Microsoft.
softies but rich!
Maybe temporarily you could use web messenger

Or try downloading trillian : this instant messenger can support multiple accounts at one time. This means that you can log in your yahoo chat, msn chat, AIM, ICQ etc, all at the same time
