I hope those morons at MSN chat won't go to IRC instead...

And who the fuck is going to pay to chat in a chatroom? There are millions of free other ones...

HA! Like that would stop Bill Gates if he wanted to charge people to use instant messaging.


Bill Gates: Hey, Steve, how do you feel about the idea of us charging for MSN chatting?

Steve Ballmer: I love it, but don't you think people will just go to AIM, IRC, or Yahoo?

Bill Gates: Not if I buy them  :D

I have never actaully been in a chat room, I have only ever used IM clients.

so I can't say whether or not MS is right for trying to block out SPAMMERS and Creeps.

This is just another in a long line of M$ blunders that will eventually lead to their downfall.
