"favourite messenging utility"
Pros: none of the messengers like yahoo, icq etc. can beat the functions of msn messenger as yet. esp in their number of interactive emotions & winks. or the drawing board to display ur artisitc skills? background can also be customised with any picture u have in ur com. as I c it, all my frienz in singapore using msn messenger cos its emotions have simply overwhelmed all other messenging services. default winks might be too little but u can easily left click on an emotion ur frien send in conversation & save as ur own. wat a breeze...
Cons: I prefer windows messenger clean interface without ads. & other options. & Msn messenger always have some problem in connection. keep disconnecting and connecting. well, but still 5 stars for mi. leader of the pack.

Version: Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1288.0816
Pros: I used to have AIM, but alot of my friends have been switching over to MSN. I have never seen or downloaded it before, so I decided to try it. I signed up easily and fast, and signed in. HOLY CR*P! Just be seeing it for the first time I knew it was 100x better than anything else. A VERY nice looking program, very easy to use. I like that you can check your email in 1 click, send nudges, winks, cool emoticons, dynamic AND normal backgrounds, change the colour of everything to persomalize it, cool big animated emoticons from blue mountain (only a couple free though). Its really cool how its integrated with iTunes, Windows media, and MSN spaces! GREAT PROGRAM! Download this!

Pros: If you are working with others using window IM, this tool is fine, but...
Cons: considering all the various IM tools out there, it would be better in some cases to get a tool that supports more protocols for IM.
