    I've been using it since it's early beta stages and i've liked it a lot all along. I think it looks nice and i've always liked the functionality in Microsofts IM client.

    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    Open up task manager for me and see how much memory its using... please.

    Can you switch off all the winks, popups and all that crap too? My current msn (when I use it) has everything disabled, from tabs to smilies and that handwriting crap in the message windows.

    It's using 14 MB for me right now. If you want to strip out some of the features that you don't want, you might want to check out the Mess patch from http://www.mess.be. I'd post a link to the direct page but they don't allow it.

    Ad-ridden bloatware. And the ads look like crap to boot.

    Thanks... I'll avoid it... I thought it looks quite nice though... the dark themes I've seen.
