Check it again. :rolleyes:

Yes, just like before >.>
However new version of A-Patch will get rid of these, the same as it did for last versions

Advertisements? Where? If you are talking about the news page that pops up when you log on, you can shut it off.... Oh, you must mean at the bottom below friend's list, that's never bothered me.

It's basically the same as the old one. The new one just has more color templates and options. Some of the menus are more detailed. You can also see when your friends update their photos and change with heading and display photo. I think it's neat.

The only thing I don't like on this version, you can't set a background wallpaper for each conversation.... Oh well.

I've always liked MSN Live more then other messengers, for me it's always seemed more involved, and customizable.

You kind of can...its just not as big and doesnt cover the whole screen anymore. Its the only problam I have with it, otherwise its awesome.

Check what? I captured the files that the installer downloads. I have used those same files to install on other systems. Might surpise you to know that I can read a file size. File size is only is only 138MB if you bypass the online installer and download the offline files. Which just happens to be the entire Live Suite!

Livesuit is an installer, and when you ask the installer to install just msn its 138 MB.

There is no package, there's just MSN that you ask it to install.


The New MSN is simply for retards. You have big buttons as if you're in need of some assistance.

I like the old one.

It's compact, its neat and everything be smooth.

Yeah, that was a source of irritation for me as well. But it is a minor one.

*SIGH* If you only select messenger during the install, then it only downloads two CAB files. One for messenger itself at 24,358KB, and the second is for a update to the contact manger at 910KB. That is it! As long as you don't check all the other boxes you don't get anything else!!

... and what big buttons are you talking about???

Like I said by only selecting msn it it 138 MB. As for RAM complaints? for me it has not been running smooth .I can play games fine and still run MSN. Where as the new one. It's bulky and needs space for it to display properly, otherwise the background colours make it hard to read text. The shiny gloss as well irritates the eyes.



Can run games fine, keep a small msn window. no need for the bulkiness of 'colourful' templates.
