Consider this as a warning for anyone out to DL MSN. Microsoft just made their new version of MSN and for about a month been sending me MSN pop ups to upgrade. Funny thing is I'm so use to just closing things like Apple's updates when I don't want to upgrade and that be the end of it. But with Microsoft the only option I get is to "Down Load it", or "remind me in a week" then "ok". :confused: I didn't think it was all that bad but just recently Microsoft has been sending IMs giving me the all important, "You are running a version of messenger that requires an immediate security update. Please visit http://messenger.msn.com/Help/Upgrades.aspx to complete the update." I of course clicked the link to see what the fuss was about and there was nothing there talking about security. All it said was if I haven't upgraded to what they want me to, do it. :mad: Argh, I need iChat friends (who wants to be my friend!?!::ha::)......ANYWAY, Microsoft is driving me mad to the point if I don't upgrade, I get no peace. Gah, I hate that.
 
This really sucks... I was on ICQ when iChat first appeared, and after a while, I've converted most of my chat buddies to AIM/iChat. Just because *I* liked the app better. True, 50% of them used Macs, too, and could see where I was aiming at, but even so... Try to get them over to AIM/iChat. It's the easiest way to get some peace. ;-)
 
I wish it was that easy but AIM looks like Windows 95 to them. It's not as near as high tech or as cool and stylish. That's why they don't use it. The only time they actually do is when we need to send something, MSN almost never gets the job done so we always turn to AIM.
 
Try Yahoo! Messanger. AFAIK Yahoo and MSN are compatible.

What kinds of features do you have in MSN that are lacking in AIM?
 
Hmmmm, not that I actually know but I think a big part of Microsoft's upgrading was to scraped other massagers that are compatible with MSN. They called them Security something the other. As for Yahoo vs MSN. MSN just looks better I guess. Same feature but one just looks better then the other.
 
I use Fire and have been getting that message. I just close the window. Only get it when I start Fire.
