MSN messenger upgrade

MSN messenger forces you to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade because of all that .NET crap MS is putting into it, but I had the options of yes and no (choosing no will make it so that it asks you again next time you start it) and you can choose don't ask me again for one week. But you don't have the option of not upgrading at all.

I wouldn't want to give the impressions that I know anything about MS OSs and if I were fulfilling my !MS duty I would say "Why the hell are you using MSN?!?" or "No you can't stop it from happening, another Microsoft Monopoly in the making...." but I'll spare that sort of answer.  I would be willing to bet there is a registry key where if flipped from a "1" to a "0" would stop the annoying popup if it's like anything else they have.  I'm not going to put forth the effort to search the web for the answer to this though, I'm sure you can do this on your own (I doubt you'll find it on microsoft's KB though since they would rather have you upgrade and be stuck with their .NET shit).  I digress, reformat your hard drive and put a decent OS on it, and if you can't do that at LEAST stop using MSN.   Please!!

Its just like they want everybody to buy Windows XP so they will get lots of $$$.  They stopped making newer version of IE for 3.x so they would be forced to upgrade soon if they want to surf the web....  They also stopped making newer versions Windows Media Player for Windows 95... So if Windows 95 users want the pretty, unstable new Media Player 7, they will be forced to upgrade to Windows 98, ME or XP...  They are secretly forcing everyone to upgrade....  They say "Windows 95, 98 and ME are all unstable! Get Windows XP!"  When they released all those OSes though, they said "They are the most stable thing EVER!"  Just think about this....

I think Media player 7 blows goats and sucks donkeys.
Media player 6 is better, but of course this is all relative...
