Well ever since that day I was getting anonymous people sending me Trojans and other harmful execution files, I have stopped using MSN. That is basically the only reason I have to not use it, but overall it is a good program to use.
MSN Allows anyone in the world who has a hotmail.com email account to download msn messenger. It is a great marketing tool because you need this hotmail account to get it and as a result they are increasing the amount of people and therefore increasing their revenues since advertising rates will have to go up.
MSN is similar to other programs such as ICQ. You can maintain a contact list and organize them into groups. You can file transfer with anyone and it will even tell you how long it will take but doesn’t keep a consistent timer going.
The only bad part about the transfer thing is that you can’t close the bloody window which needs to be openfor some reason be on your desktop, I hate that skat.
You can see when the other person is typing but it is not real time chat nor can you do real time chat. It will just say that ’’such and such’’ a user is typing a message. Beats the hell out of waiting for them and being surprised. You can also use these icons to shortcut your messages. For a picture of a happy face simply type in :) or for, ’’Ill be on MSN tonight after I have coffee.’’ simply put Ill be on (m) tonight after I have (c). Saves a whole bunch of characters and a bit of time which will add up to your already 1/3 of your wasted life. 8 Hours sleep means 1/3 of your life wasted :).
Along with text messaging, you can also voice chat with other people. So for the horny average 40 year old man, its only a click a way to speak your pedophilic pick up lines to those 15 year old oriental girls. You can send cell phone messages with people who are connected to SMS, even have a group chat, but that is pretty stinky. Stinky because the page moves down at a mile a minute and you can’t really read that much. I’d suggest that for only 3 people at any one time.
There are help files that will allow you to find out how to use this non complex program. You can organize your contact lists.
One thing I totally hate for MSN is the stupid popups you get when you get an email. If I had my cable email account set up that way, its all good .... BUT.... with Hotmail, you get so much span that when you get an email, it’ll say ’’Do you want to increase your penis from 1-3 inches’’ and my mom is on the computer with me, what the hell am I supposed to do. Those spamming emails are a problem.
Even with all the advantages of this program, I still would suggest ICQ because of its many features and its ability to connect from any computer with the new ICQ Lite.
