I'm happy to report that you can now close IM while Outliook is running. Great feature!

I can't even sign on to MSN 7.0 from work anymore. When I get that troubleshoot button, it says "No problems found" #@@!(#(!)~) ~~

It's very hard to use dry wit in a blog post. I should have put "feature" in quotes like that.

4 hours of solid testing, the official results are: MSN Messenger 7.0 is more buggy than the MSN Messenger 7.0 BETA!

I gotta admit, it crashed on me within the first hour of use, in mid-chat.

Is there really people using MSN Messenger instead of Trillian ? ;)

Trillian is great, but I hate the fact that if I have multiple MSN identities, trillian has to merge the contact lists. That's why I use gaim :)

It sucks that too many players built IM systems that are not using a common std.

remember before smtp / pop3 / imap took over??

when you had compuserv mail that was different than bbs email that was different than <name your system here> email ??

Trillian is nice but should not be needed for what it does today....

That's cool. But where do I get "Outliook" from? Is that the new version? Does "i" stand for independent, because it's no independent from MSN Messenger? Or maybe since it's a "Smart Client" they wanted to incorporate "smart" in the name, but "Outlsook" would have sounded kinda weird, so the "i" stands for intelligent instead of smart. Well, idk.
Don't tell me it's a typo, because that will make me look like an idiot.

Hello! downloaded the new messenger the other day and just tonight it closed itself and crashed and now everytime u try to reinstall, or open it or anything it says "Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".. no matter what this still stays the same, this is really really getting to my nerves:( any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running Windows XP Professional with the latest Internet Explorer and high speed internet, everything else seems to be working fine. email me to ewan_gullidge@hotmail.com, cheers!

1 out of 3 times MSN will crash on me during exit. That being said, it still is cooler than the previous version. :)
