so, how many users were there? 2?

Great, who cares. No one is using msn to access the internet or e-mail anyway. One would think they'd be using a .mac and safari or open source browser. Who want's to support microsoft!?

thank goodness messenger is still around.

Who is this Micro Soft, and what do they do? Must not be much of a loss for the Macintosh Nation.

If iChat supports MSN, then we probably don't care about the Mac MSN client being dropped.

Of course, you can always use Adium, Fire, etc., but I expect most people would just prefer to use iChat.

I tried using the "official" AIM client once, but I was horrified by the advertising, pop-ups, etc. - if the MSN client has that kind of crap, good riddance!!

I don't think I even know what it is that went away. I won't care about messenger if I didn't know so many silly people who refuse to use AOL. But I do want to be able to talk to them on MSN. I didn't even know that microsuck made other msn software I always thought the rest of whatever it was that I didn't care about was just on a web page.. the things you learn....

Actually whether or not you want to support them, around here if you go dial up your only choice is Qwest, and although they used to have a great system, they sold out to MSN a few years ago and the only way you could get hooked up involved using MSN.

There are work arounds, but the newbie usually has no idea what to use so they go with the MSN stuff. It's gonna make my life in tech support busy for a week or so. : )

not for using MSN, but for not using AOL...AOL represents everything wrong with wen users today, 99% oif the peopel using it are complete morons...

I forget the specifics, but from what my dad was saying last year, Qwest's internet service was in some way tied to or included MSN service. This ticked him off. Luckily he found he didn't have to use the service. Nevertheless, the os X client did come out, so it was a possibility.

my 2 cents

AOL = bad. AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) = good (as a protocol). The standard client sucks, but there are plenty to choose from on any platform, like iChat or Fire for OS X.

By default Qwest likes to use MSN as the ISP. They don't advertise it, but you can also get Qwest DLS at any speed you want without an ISP. This means that you don't get an email account nor the other stuff that you might get with MSN. (And it's much cheaper!) The only thing I would use is the email address, but heck, since it's msn, I'd prefer to use GMail, Yahoo or something else that's free.

mac users need the NEW MSN MESSENGER
