not sure if love / hate is what I would use, but I did like messenger better. I will have to give skype more of a chance to get used to before I use hate.

Very nice find though 

If Skype had better longing and handled online messaging better, i.e. both people do not have to be online in order for a message to be sent, I would say it's a superior platform to MSN. That being said, there is only 1-2 people that I even talked to on MSN, and that is infrequently at best, versus my constant usage of Skype. Can't say I'm personally bummed over this as a result.

Someone fix Yahoo Messenger and I'll go back to it.

I stopped using Mass-anger years ago.....Skype rules!

Doesn't work....... 

I still have messenger installed and have yet to be forced to install skype.

I still have ICQ installed and.....

I did use Live for awhile, but never bothered reinstalling it since I don't have my own computer with internet access, I used it on my parents' computer since my brother also uses it. I only got Skype a few weeks ago in order to attend meetings with my team for Senior Project at DeVry, without even doing video meetings. I am not the best judge of social media and messaging services, because I only infrequently use them (I am on Facebook but rarely use it) and I am not even in the internet on consoles age yet (Halo 4 has convinced me to rectify that asap).

meh.

Yes, ICQ these days is amazing.

I left it for years after it was wrecked, but the new one is absolutely superb.

Thanks Tom! Worked like a charm!

   he he.... Tom's a hero...      thanks....  

Actually...I was sort of....joking....wasn't aware ICQ was even still around.....used to skin it, too...

But...

I DO HAVE the old SDC installed still....

...and Impulse....
