R.I.P MSN Messenger, again

And hellooooo Skype, which is inferior in almost every way (except placing voice calls outside the network).

Why do I say this? Check out these three missing features, from MSN:
- User-definable emoticons (including animated .gifs)
- FREE text messaging to any phone number.
- Clear user interface.

Skype is terrible. I tolerate Trillian's silliness, just so I don't have to use Skype.

When Microsoft bought Skype I left it behind forever. They bloated it, ruined the look of the interface and if you watch the IP log communicates to way too many servers and even more data to do the simple job required.

Wow I did not think that messenger was even around in China I guess they were trying to flog a dead horse.

Good ridddance to MS Messenger. As for Skype, I kinda wish Sharman networks kept their Kazaa supernodes up and running (Skype uses Kazaa technology for it's P2P communication).

Probably because 70% of Chinese pc's are still running hooky copies of Windows XP and msfot reckons they will upgrade to win8 when they find out how buggy it is on winxp.
