http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=916 http://www.dvhardware.net/article3215.html Yeah, well--- I say they made it more crap. It looks, bulky. And the search the web tool bar is anoyong. What is more anoying are these new things called 'Winks' Your msn Conversation has some dancing animated image for like.. 1 minute? (don't know). New thing called nudge, haven't tried that out yet but it sounds anoying. Oh well... Btw, after you finish a conversation, and close it an error will pop up, i guess because its beta. either way it doens't crash msn. |

Speaking of msn, has any one ever bothered reading the user agerment? Here are some of my favorite lines: Quote: However, we may monitor your communications and disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, if we consider it necessary to Quote: Microsoft may automatically upload performance and usage data for evaluating the Service and the software associated with the Service. So far from what i have seen from MSNM 7 is that they just stole all the ideas that GIMP (sorry, I think Dan meant "GAIM"--Coutsos) and aMSN had that where any good..... EDIT: ROFL is MSN 7 buggy crahses more then windows right now, also the new graficks they use hurt my eyes. And they still have not put in any real needed fuetuchers that ICQ and AOLM have had for years. |

i dont mind this version. I think the GUI is a bit better than 6.2 even if it is a bit unpolished. But the fact it doesnt work with plus and that it doesnt make up for the features that plus offers. I think i might just switch to amsn tho. |

I am realy pissed now, msnm 7 has bascily locked out msnm 6.2 from working on my pc. And msnm 7 is crashing alot for me and having so many error message it makes me whonder if they even ran it affter they complied it. I know it is a beat but still you whould think some of thess problems whould have been removed in the aplha since they seem to hapen for every one. Also the nuge thing is just wrong, i see it being exploted so baddly in the futtuer (if not by some one eltes then by me) by making a scripted to let you send it as much as you whont. And the winks are also wrong on so many levels, tho every time i send of get one it crashs my comp, the idea behind them is dum and they realy are just big animated emtoicons that recure you to hit play. Some of the good things they did add where alowing you to choice what status u are in when you log in (wtich has been around for a long time in the open sorcen msn clinets) and they now alow custom animated encomics even tho they colors are messed to hell on them. The GUI is difrent and it is deftaly more windows xpish if that makes any secen but i am some one who likes the unix comand line so the colors of the GUI do not mean much to me other then the fact that it seems to run slower and take up more memory then the old one. I also supscet they are going to be adding sinks for msn sine you can now hit a buttion and the clacik windows borders go away kind of like media player dose. But as many of you may know media player just gets messed up when it gose like that and so dose msnm 7. |

One thing like about 7 is the look of course and it allows you to sign in as: appear offline. other wise it kinda sucks right now cause I cant log on and I cant change my display name |

How? how come everyone elses msn 7 is screwed (like dan, his crashes) mine seems fine, except for the fact that the XML message history log is screwed (that i knew long tiem ago )
I just hate it that they didn't make the ads optional, and that search teh web optional and those side, menu drop down list thing optional. Also Custom Animated Emoticons are screwed on MSN 7  (only the beginning) |

Here are some of my favorite lines: Quote: However, we may monitor your communications and disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, if we consider it necessary to Quote: Microsoft may automatically upload performance and usage data for evaluating the Service and the software associated with the Service. Legal question. If you use a non-MS client to connect to MSN, like GAIM or Trillian, do those terms still apply? Technically, it's their protocols and stuff you're using, but if you haven't installed their program you never agreed to the User Agreement. Does that nullify it or is it your own fault for not using their software? Is there anything in the GAIM liscence agreement about this sort of thing? |

Everyone has this misconception that computers and computer programs are 'secure.' Using a resource hacker is a matter of double clicking. Decompiling is only moderately more difficult. The only thing holding the software industry's rights together are patents and laws. |

windows seem to have some kind of autofix feature. if you delete the executable for windows media player and replace it with classic media player, then somehow windows will know this and replace it with its version later. |

The only thing holding together the proprietary software industry's rights are patents and laws. Even with them, this industry will likel collapse in the near future. Open source represents a fundamental shift in how software is produced, and those who ignore it will not be able to beat it. By building upon the work of others (and them building on your work), the industry escapes the constant reinvention of the wheel. Many companies have made their fortunes reinventing the wheel and now know how to do little else. They could take advantage of open source and profit from it, but they won't. |
