Well, my messenger 4.7 (the last worthwhile messenger IMO) no longer works on the MSN messenger network. I had to d/l messenger 6 to get on. Man I hate messenger 6. It's so girly and bubblegummy. I do like the "build your own emoticons" feature, though. That could be fun.

Supposedly by Oct. 15th all 3rd party clients will also no longer work with MSN.
