I have a stupid question..

[restin256]

Why do a lot of people here who hate Microsuck use MSN Messenger? I only do because my friends do, but I'm in the process of converting as many as I can to ICQ or Yahoo.

because MSN is 1337.

[restin256]

It is a good IM thing but they constantly upgrade it so that GAIM users have to fix it and then upgrade. It's like MS Word and OpenOffice.org.

[Refalm]

Because dMSN Messenger (for Linux, Mac OS X and OS/2) is so damn kewl!

[Pissed_Macman]

Never used it.

[restin256]

Anything but aMSN. I just hope that one day GAIM will be to trillian as XMMS is to winamp.

[TheQuirk]

It already is. It supports almost all the features Trillian does...

P.S
Trillian used to be based off of Gaim.

I technically could be on MSN because Fire supports it, but the best way to destroy a company's market share is not to be a part of it.

and the best way to lead a horse to Lt. Tully is with a TV and an episode of MOUNT BOREDMORE

What I meant was with skins. They don't support Trillian skins and a lot of features (voice chat, webcams, etc) that Trillian does.

Hmm... I use MSN Messenger because I don't know anything
else program that would do the same. Why should I
move to some other program? I think that messenger
is enough to me, or do you have any real reason to
use some other program(s)?

I use everything BUT Msn, yahoo, ICQ, aim, etc. Not that I have anything against MSN messenger, I've just been too lazy to set up an account.

[Commander]

MSN is short for MicroSoft Network. And if you haven't noticed you're on an anti-microsoft forum. Use GAIM, or pirate Trillian if you aren't anti-closed source.
