MSN messenger upgrade
Calum:
all my mates use msn, so i do due to 'compatibility issues'
of course they all use msn for the same reason. Catch 22.
Until recently we all had icq too, but it is even more unstable than msn, or aol messenger or yahoo, come to think of it.
Well, msn is the only real option as we're all running Windows, i am sure there are tons of non top heavy alternatives for other OSes.
Still, as i mentioned before, i can't get my proprietary laptop screen to work using Linux so that's why i am running a crappy M$ OS. Nevermind...

Well, Calum, perhaps you should ditch the monolithic hunk of crap msn and replace it with trillian or jabber. they work, they're free. they dont nag you to upgrade.
ravuya:
I use fire for mac os x, which is kind of like trillian. It certainly beats the hell out of using their junky client (especially on the Mac, where it seems to give connection priority to Win32 clients and not others...).
Master of Reality:
i trudged through the registry and couldn't find any key that realtes to the update thingy

Windows XP!" When they released all those OSes though, they said "They are the most
stable thing EVER!" Just think about this....

That's exactly what I did. I thought about it, then I went to http://linuxcentral.com and ordered the Mandrake CD set ($5.95 + S&H - helluva lot less expensive than an XP upgrade (is that an oxymoron or what?) ) No problem.
